A scientific theory is something that is expiremented/tested. Not all hypotheses will become theories because sometimes they aren't facts,they are educated guesses.

Why don't all hypothesis become theories?
A scientific theory is something that is tried and tested, and not yet disproven. It is close to being scientific 'fact' as you can get. Not all hypotheses will become theories because sometimes they get disproven. That means the hypothesis will need to be changed and tested again.
Do all theories become laws?
all theories don't become laws
Why are hypothesis never accepted by scientist?
Hypotheses are ideas which are, as yet, unsupported by evidence. As a hypothesis becomes backed up by mathematical formulae and observational data, it may, if it is sound, become a theory. All scientific theories began life as hypotheses, it is merely a case of which hypotheses become theories, and which fall down by the wayside after being discredited or having lacked support.
What do scientists call theories that explain all the evidence?
I think they call it ''HYPOTHESIS''
What do scientific theories have in common?
All are testable and falsifiable, and all have evidence to back them up. Without evidence, it is a hypothesis.
Do theoris become laws?
all theories don't become laws
What is the intelligent guess of a scientist in the form of a statement?
Hypothesis, educated guess, conjuncture (usually for math), theory (though not all theories are "guesses")
What is true hypothesis are rarely rejected as false a theory is basically the same as a hypothesis therios are ideas accepted as most likely true all scientific studies are share?
Theories are ideas accepted as most likely true. Theories are basically hypotheses which have been tested many times by many people and are found to be true.
Theories of the creation of the earth?
There are various scientific theories explaining the creation of the Earth, with the most widely accepted being the nebular hypothesis. This theory suggests that the solar system formed from a massive cloud of gas and dust about 4.6 billion years ago. Other theories include the giant impact hypothesis, proposing that the Moon was formed from debris after a collision with a Mars-sized body, and the gravitational instability hypothesis, suggesting that the Earth formed directly from the collapse of a molecular cloud.
Is data used to test a hypothesis?
It's quite possible to use all sort of data to become true a hypothesis. The problem is to find the correct type of data.
Are theories elevated to laws?
All theories don't become laws because of several reasons, most notably the notion that anybody can come up with a theory before having sufficient proof to back it up.Remember that one of the first few steps of the scientific method is to formulate a hypothesis. Regardless of the hypothesis' correctness, it is still a theory which may or may not become true. Rigorous testing and examination must prove it to be true. Many theories in science especially conflict with one another, but the laws are universal to my understanding.For example, the law of universal gravitation is accepted everywhere because it has been tested quiet a bit (without which we would not have entered space). However, many theories such as those that examine how the earth was created are still subject to intense speculation--was it the Big Bang, God, evil robotic aliens?So there you have it.
Why can't a theory become a law?
A law cannot become a theory, as laws are higher in scientific hierarchy than theories. Theories may become laws when the evidence for their factuality proves that the theory meets all established requirements set forth by the theory. If at any point in the scientific method a theory is disproven for the criteria that it sets forth, it can never be considered a Law. The hierarchy is thusly: Hypothesis < Theory < Law.
