Theories: A theory is a contemplative and rational type of

abstract or generalizing thinking about a phenomenon, or the

results of such thinking. The process of contemplative and
rational thinking often is associated with such processes like
observational study, research

A theory, however, is just a point of view. It does not have

general support so it has to be debated and argued upon
before it resembles anything close to a principle.

A principle already has already chosen where to stand, it has

been validated and is generally accepted. At times it has
become a basis for creating rules that govern us.

 Laws are general rules and ideas that adhere to the

nature of the universe while principles describe specific
phenomena that require clarity and explanation. Other
terms like theorems, theories, and rules can describe
nature and the universe.
 The key difference between theory and principle is that
the theory is a scientifically credible general principle
that explains a phenomenon whereas the principle is a
basic truth, rule or law. ... While theories are capable of
various phenomena, principles direct the entire society as
they are behind every law and system
