   You're just making shit up.   
      
   A hypothesis is the basis for predictions, Predictions are tested   
   via scientific observations and experimentation. A hypothesis that   
   holds up to such testing becomes a scientific theory.   
      
   What science does is try to falsify -- DISPROVE -- a prediction. By   
   falsifying a prediction you are falsifying a hypothesis.
