Scientific theory is the accepted explanation of the phenomenon. It is a proven fact to the experiment condition However, the theory can be use for prediction of various further scenario that might be out of reach for proving it. Scientific theory may become invalid at some condition unknown to the current science. It is generally hold as fact until any invalid condition is found.
This limitation is commonly abused by pseudoscientist and religious cults claiming that science is not everything so they could continue on their nonsense claim and explanation, which, mostly doesn't pass any falsification mechanism. For example, many creationist would stated evolution or abiogenesis is only a theory not a fact, which is correct but Intelligent Design (ID) is neither being proven fact nor had been recognized as a valid scientific theory.
Technically, scientific theory is not a proven fact but it was something that had been proven again and again with no fail until now.

∙ 14y agoNo. Theories are explanations of facts. For instance; evolution is a fact. Allele frequencies change over time in a population of organisms. This is observed and observable. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains how and why evolution happens. Some theories are so well supported that some people blur the line between theory and fact, but best to be precise in these matters I think.

Is a scientific theory or law an attempt to explain a pattern observed in the natural world?
The theory is based on replicable evidence. This evidence turns a theory into a fact.
Why is Scientific Fact not unchanging?
All in science, even facts, are tentative and subject to revision. It once was a fact that the earth was flat, but mow we know better and have a theory to explain the fact that the earth is a spheroid.
What is a scientific explanation for a range of hypothesis and observations supported by testing?
i have no clue i also want that answer for homework
What are myths about the Big Bang THEORY?
The Big Bang Theory is a widly accepted theory in the scientific world because of the fact that it has less loopholes than others made to oppose it.I believe 1-2 loopholes are contained in The Big Bang Theory.
What primary difference between a scientific theory and a hypothesis is that a theory is?
A scientific theory is more elaborated than a simple hypothesis and generally is validated by experiments.
A scientific idea that rarely changes is a scientific?
theory or fact that of course is influenced by a theory
Does scientific theory have more chemistry and physics than scientific law?
A scientific theory is a theory, no given proof of being a fact, a scientific law is what always happens, essentially a fact. Both is in chemistry and physics. The theory of gravitation happens before it became the Law of gravitation. Scientific theories and laws are similar except laws were proven to be recognize as a fact.
Do you believe in darwinian theory as a scientific bsasis?
The Darwinian theory is based on Scientific methodology. This is a fact not an issue for belief.
What are the difference between a theory and a scientific theory?
law is based on fact theory is a concept/idea
How would you distinguish a scientific theory from a scientific law-?
A scientific theory is accepted as factual even though it hasn't been proven. A scientific law has been proven as fact.
Does a scientific fact and a scientific theory carry the same weight in the scientific community?
after its been evaluated and tested repeatedly
How a scientific theory different from a conclusion?
Because a conclusion indicates that it is no longer a theory, but a proven fact. A theory is an unproven hypothesis.
What are the different between a scientists law and scientific theory?
law is based on fact theory is a concept/idea
What are the difference between scientific theories and scientific laws?
law is based on fact theory is a concept/idea
How theory and laws related?
A scientific theory is an idea that is supported by a hypothesis. Once the theory is proven to be permanently correct, it is a law or fact.
How are law and theory related?
A scientific theory is an idea that is supported by a hypothesis. Once the theory is proven to be permanently correct, it is a law or fact.
How is the idea of evolution a threat to scientific progress?
The idea of evolution is that evolution is a fact and the theory of evolution by natural selection explains much about the fact of evolution. Your question is ill posed. A more modern phrase would say your question is malformed. How could the fact of evolution be a threat to anything? How could the theory that is the backbone of biology not be one of the greatest progressions in science? Much confusion between fact and theory. Theory explains fact and encompasses fact and is a higher scientific concept than fact.
