A scientific theory is based on objectively verifiable evidence, not the support (or lack thereof) of its founder or anyone else.

O True O False

True

Explanation:

A scientific theory is an explanation that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results.

Where possible, theories are tested in controlled experiments.

For those that can't be experimented, they are treated through a set of observations.

Therefore, scientific theories are not based on the founder or the support of anyone else, but rather, on verifiable facts that have been tested.
