By not being so much based on fact as explaining said facts. That is what scientific theories do, explain the facts and laws contained within them as far as possible. For example; evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much, not everything, about the fact of evolution.

Is scientific evidence supported with theories?
You have it backwards. Theories are supported by evidence. Evidence is not supported by theories, evidence is simply observed.
Theories are sometimes replaced as a result of new?
why are theories sometimes replaced by new theories
How are scientific evidence and scientific conclusions related?
Scientific conclusions are based on scientific evidence.
when must scientific theories be change?
when enough evidence contradicts earlier ideas
Why is there resistance to new scientific theories?
There is not enough evidence to support these new theories. More tests and research needs to be carried out before these theories can be proved.

What can't science answer questions with but can give us the answer based on the knowledge at the time?
I'm not exactly sure what kind of answer your looking for, but if your asking about decisions made based on scientific evidence. The reason statements are based on "Knowledge at the time" is because later evidence or findings might cancel out the current decision. scientific answers are based on the exploration of theories, and until all theories can be exhausted, there cannot be a single answer to the given question.
How are scientific evidence and scientific conclusions related?
Scientific conclusions are based on scientific evidence.
Are theories in science based of experimental evidence?
Yes.
How does a scientific theory differ from an idea?
This a Study Island Question. The answer is "Scientific Theories are supported by evidence or data."
How is scientific data used as evidence to develop scientific theories to describe the origin of the universe?
by falling in a hole
Is scientific law based on scientific evidence?
Scientific laws are based on scientific experiments, scientific conclusions after exhaustive tests, and they are also based on formerly scientific discoveries and experiments. Scientific evidence without a conclusive proof may be a false evidence. Scientific evidence doesn't exist. Science is not based on evidences, but on real results originated from a theory. Results are solid, palpable, real and cannot be doubted.
When can scientific theories be changed or replaced?
Scientific theories can be changed or replaced when there has been significant evidence for the change. The scientific method must be used to create a new hypothesis, which must then be proven.
Why do people preach evolution when it is just a theory?
Because non-scientists do not understand what a scientific theory actually means. It is not a random guess. Scientific theories are formed based on evidence and experimentation.The scientific community advocates evolution because all the evidence of life on our planet supports the theory.
when must scientific theories be change?
when enough evidence contradicts earlier ideas
