I agree it can't be called a scientific theory at this point, but it's not true it's "plucked out of thin air." It builds on observations made time and time again throughout history. Now, whether these observations are correct is another matter, but you can't deny they're there. It's simply inaccurate to say that there was no basis for constructing such a (philosophical) theory.
