Why is a theory called a theory and not a fact?

Many theories can never be proven. 
Here are a few examples:

-- The moon orbits the Earth.
-- Gravity pulls all masses toward each other.
-- The Earth orbits the sun.
-- Everything is made of atoms and molecules.
-- Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
-- Electrons moving through a wire make electric current.
-- The center of the Earth is molten iron and nickel.
-- The source of the sun's energy is nuclear fusion in its core.
-- Almost all galaxies are moving away from us.
-- The universe is expanding.

None of these statements can be proven.  That's why they're not called
Facts or Laws. 

It also tells you that some pretty powerful stuff has been done with concepts
that can't be proven.  If you want to make an idea look foolish, that doesn't
happen when you say "it's only a theory".

Why does geographic isolation cause speciation?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

A. It allows two populations to evolve separately.

Explanation:

Geographic isolation is theorized to have catalyzed the formation of new species. Let’s say groups A and B of a bird species get separated by something, and they can’t cross between to interbreed or exchange alleles.

We describe this as no gene flow, which is the opposite of choices C and D. Because of this, they may diverge if given enough time due to the difference in environmental pressures, because they’re now in different environments.

B is incorrect because it doesn’t apply.
