That's how theories work. There's something you don't know and you postulate how based on information you have currently. From there you search for evidence to support it or disprove it. Not sure why there's such animosity toward that process nowadays.
Is it bullshite? Time will tell. For now, it's the theory with the best evidence to support it.

It's even worse than that. First, we've convinced ourselves that only science has value, anyone pursuing the arts is wasting their time. THEN we discount all of the fruits of science we don't like by saying, "It's just a theory".
hypothesis
experimental design
empirical observation
analysis
conclusion
theory
Theories are at the end of the scientific method, not the beginning. People give them short shrift.
