scientific theory

Contrary to popular belief, when scientists use the word "theory", they are not referring to conjectures that they have pulled out of thin air and have no data to support such claims. The scientific use of the word "theory" is much different than the colloquial use.

In science, a theory refers to an integrated set of principles that explain and predict events that are observed in the natural world. Theories, in the scientific sense, summarize and explain facts, and imply testable predictions that allow for the falsification of the theory. Theory is vital to scientific endeavour, as it generates hypotheses to be tested, gives direction to research (and even suggests new areas for research), and, if the theory is good, has a high amount of explanatory power without requiring extensive modification to the theory. Theory without data is just conjecture, but data without a theoretical explanation is as good as meaningless to scientific practice.
An example of a scientific theory that is often mistaken as just a "theory" is the theory of evolution. Contrary to common misconceptions, evolutionary biology is one of the most prolific fields in science, with hundreds of thousands of peer-reviewed papers attesting to the theory's veracity, and an ever-increasing body of research.

Other examples include general relativity (yes, gravity is technically "only" a theory), special relativity, atomic theory (yes, atoms are "only" a theory too), and germ theory (the theory that small microscopic organisms are the cause of many illnesses).

for scientific purposes

Used to cover one's perverted aims after the fact.
Dude, did you hear about those new DEEPFAKES videos?
Yeah, they have one of Scarlett Johannson doing it!
No way! Wait where might I be able to find these aforementioned videos? What no, it's not for me, obviously, it's... for scientific purposes.

Scientifically Accurate Ducktales

A song produced by Animation Domination High-Def and uploaded onto YouTube which was later deleted.
Lyrics of Scientifically Accurate Ducktales:

Did you know ducks are necrophiles?
That's duck science
They don't have sphincters, dump in piles
That's why ducks don't buy pants

And we have to face this
Male ducks are rapists!

DuckTales! Whoo-ooh!
Scientifically accurate
DuckTales! Whoo-ooh!
Crazy, pooping birds should go to duck jails...

Then there's the whole pool of gold
Scrooge won't write a check
And whether he was young or old
If he dived in, he'd break his neck

A gold pile looks neat
But it's hard as concrete!

DuckTales! Whoo-ooh!
Scientifically accurate--

D-D-D-Danger, a duck's behind you
Boy or girl, a duck will grind you
Also, ducks are cannibals, true

DuckTales! Whoo-ooh!
Have salmonella and H5N1 bird flu! Whoo-ooh!
Scientifically accurate
DuckTales! Whoo-ooh!

Last verse is on genitalia
So stay in your places
Because ducks hump so much,
Girl ducks have vagina mazes

To screw around this,
Ducks grew a corkscrew phallus!

DuckTales! Whoo-ooh!
Disgusting, crapping, cannibalistic
DuckTales! Whoo-ooh!
Penis in the shape of a corkscrew
DuckTales!

Scientism

When science turns into ideology, religion and political interests. Rather than to allow people to object, criticize and dissect the subject in the pursuit of truth. If one study have been made it is by some seen as the holy truth and is unquestionable. Everyone questioning it are "deniers" or "anti" in some way or another. Scientism also say that the scientific method is perfected and there are no biases, corruption or economic interests in today scientific research.
There are people of scientism that believe that the first study is unquestionable and call people who criticize it for "deniers" or "anti". That the sciencetific method is perfected and that that it is the absolute truth
