Do Theories Have to be Testable to be Scientific?

Depends on what you mean by "testable". For a theory to be scientific, it must at least be falsifiable. Whether that's the same as "testable" or not is mostly a matter of semantics. For a theory to be useful it must make predictions, and is thereby testable and falsifiable. |
