You lose your bet. But I am not going to write it for you.

Think how your ideas and understanding change with time: You learn more, you reflect more, you discover more data, and you are able to analyze more. Theories change because new information come to light, and the old theories just don't explain what you now realize. Use Pluto as an example.

A theory is akin to an hypothesis. It needs to be tested. It can be found to have been in error, and new information and knowledge may well prove that the theory was inadequate or just plain wrong. Now, what do YOU think? Some people believe, for example, that because Pluto is a body that orbits the sun it is therefore a planet, no matter what anybody else wants to call it. Can we refine our ideas and definitions as we learn new things, or are the old ideas always carved in stone, never to change?
