They accept them. They may believe the theories but they do not believe
in the theories.

That's true.

Quote by: InTheFlesh? So can you believe in a proven theory, like the existence of elephants, or do you accept it? |
As pointed out, theories are not proven. Theories are explanations for observed facts. However, the existence of elephants is not a theory, it is an observation; a fact. I don't believe in elephants, I have seen them.
