You can see the visible results from it, you can deduct the results of it's influence but you can't prove gravity exists because you can't visibly produce it(and before you wanna argue me on this, go argue the science guy on Tedtalks whose speech i'm ripping off instead, thanks)

So you really don't understand the difference between the science word theory and the book-discussion word theory.
Gravity being proven has nothing to do with anything. The Theory of Gravity having predictive power is what makes it a scientific theory; your theory which has succesfully predicted nothing cannot be a scientific theory (it could be a scientific hypothesis if it predicted something which had not yet come to pass).
--- Quote ---on to the cutting at my edges and ad hominem things...
But I didn't say scientific, this isn't science it's reading comprehension. So saying i'm abusing scientific theory's is actually just to try to insult me(cut those edges you ;) it's gonna be hard for you to use reverse psychology on someone who enjoys psychology after all)

You are abusing it by saying "It's a theory, just like evolution.". It is not. It is a theory by the book-discussion standard (some idea which you have based on book snippets and some extrapolation), but not a theory by scientific standards (what evolution is, because your theory has not provided any predictions that could be falsified and then were not because they seem to be true)
--- Quote ---You do know how the Oblivion war works right? If humanity forgot him there would be a disassociation between him, and the him who is remembered. Which is why, for instance, Mab had the brothers Grimm reassert their prime identity by distributing knowledge on them.
--- End quote ---
Say I remember five years ago today, but no longer remember 30 years ago. This does not necessarily mean there is any single day where I didn't remember myself; it simply means that my remembrance is shifting in time.
To remember Mab and stop her from going to Oblivion, you don't need to remember she was around in the year 1000. You just need to know she exists right now.
--- Quote ---That's Oblivion then ain't it... If here and know they don't remember whom he was then, then he's not that person anymore.
Now, quite apart from my ability to theorize, if your going to attempt to bother me on a personal level you'll need to bring a lot more game to the table...

Oblivion isn't "the creature is no longer the exact same as 1000 years ago". I no longer remember who I was 30 years ago, and I am not the same, but I'm still the same being/creature/human.

You should probably read the new Q n A post from mothers day, where Jim outright says that Rashid was the previous Harry Dresden in the last cycle. Implying he WAS in fact the Warden, ergo his formation just got some merit, ergo a prediction. Or we could simply look at the fact he specifically used the word cycle and my over theory has to do with how time/history is repeating itself due to the gyre mentioned in Yeat's second coming which has then been referenced throughout the books. So I predicted the fact there WAS a cycle at all... I think I'm done here ;)

The only Holy Shizz stuff for me was the heavy insinuation (he doesn't quite come right out and say it being Jim) that Rashid was the previous Warden of Demonreach.
There was also mention of Lucifer being a character, and another rundown of the Maggie Dresdenverse Hogwarts YA series co-written with his sister.

Ohhh snaps, my theory just became viable by your own argument, huh? Thanks again :)
