Do You Know What A Theory Is?

A theory uses logic and or equations to predict an effect through a specific mechanism. The effect occuring does not make the theory correct if the effect is found to occur by a different mechanism. It is the same with life on Mars. Finding it does not prove Levin correct if it doesn't cause results found in his LR experiment. Barry doesn't get this and it appears you don't either.
