So......... neither "Hypothesis" or "Theory" is Fact, and they remain unproven. I said best guess but Scientific guess my be more palatable.
There are often opposing theories on the same issue: they all can't be right. There are dozens Theories covering all scientific fields that once "had major concensus" only to be superceded, obsolete or just totally false. Understandably, there are descoveries and improvement in suporting technology that allow incorrect theories to be identified but they were unproven originally. Some Newton and Pasteur theories proved partially or fully incorrect.
