[[Scientific evidence]] for a [[Scientific theory|theory]] consists of [[Scientific observation|observations]] and [[Experimental science|measurements]] which are consistent with predictions made by the theory. When a theory remains consistent with the [[fact]]s, no matter how hard scientists try to find counter-examples, scientific confidence in the theory is bolstered.
