Editing Scientific theory (section)

==Examples==
Note that many fields of inquiry do not have specific named theories, e.g. [[developmental biology]]. Scientific knowledge outside a named theory can still have a high level of certainty, depending on the amount of evidence supporting it. Also note that since theories draw evidence from many fields, the categorization is not absolute.
