→Principles of science
One of the fundamental tenets of science is that no theory is absolute; theories are constantly changing in response to the observation of new evidence. Hence, a scientific theory that begins with an immutable conclusion and attempts to "fit the facts" to that argument does not fall within the realm of true scientific research.{fact}

On the other hand, in the absence of repeatable experiments being able to be done (past events such the very beginning of the universe), scientists believe in following the inference to the best explanation.
