Exactly how a theory is tested. Or rather, we should say that this is exactly how a hypothesis is tested. If a careful and accurate scientific measurement disagrees with the prediction of a hypothesis, then it never gets far enough to become a theory. But OK. Let's say that everything the hypothesis predicted was conformed by measurement, and the hypothesis was elevated to the rank of Theory. And then, 50 years later, somebody does a new measurement with better equipment, and it doesn't agree with a prediction of the theory. What happens is: The theory has to change. Either we have to find a way to adjust or modify the theory so that it explains the new measurement, or else the theory is discarded. Either way, if the measurement is trustworthy (and can be repeated by others), then the theory can't continue to be accepted in its present form.

Do you agree with scientific explanations of the world?

The answer to this is subjective and therefore it cannot be answered. Some people will agree with it and some people disagree. Most people with a college education will agree with the scientific explanation of the world. This may be in part based upon learning the scientific attitude and processes. Many people, college degree or not, are firm religious believers and will disagree with the scientific approach. The firm religious learn a faith based system as opposed to the scientific approach. The faith based systems do not promote acceptance of things outside their system. <<>> opinions can be agreed with or disagreed with, but facts are facts. The scientific method seeks to separate out facts from opinions by looking for evidence.
