Why does the scientific community accept a new theory?
after it has been evaluated and tested repeatedly
How do you accept or reject a hypothesis?
Hypothesis is examined very closely to see what it predicts, and the predictions are then rigorously tested. If the predictions are not supported by the results of experiments, the hypothesis is rejected but if they are confirmed, the hypothesis is supported.
How does scientific inquiry start?
Scientific inquiry starts with curiosity. It starts with wondering why or how something happens or with asking questions about the properties of things. Scientific inquiry can begin with a question as big as what forces hold everything in the universe together, or as specific as what would happen if I mutate this particular gene in this particular organism.
Why do scientist should be open minded?
Because if scientists aren't open-minded, they could try to discredit or change the results of a valid experiment, or not accept a theory that may actually be right, and discredit the theory, therefore stopping progress in science.
is it true that an experiment is meant to prove that the hypothesis is correct?
An experiment is performed to generate more data. If the data proves to not support the hypothesis the experiment was still useful. You could reproduce your experiment to see if it is performing the way it should. After you have confirmed the experiment is performing correctly you then could devise another experiment to further test your hypothesis or accept the result and revise your hypothesis.
What happens to new scientific ideas before scientific community accept them?
They go through critical evaluation .

Is a scientist hypothesis accepted if there is no way to prove that they hypothesis is wrong?
If you develop an experiment that truly demonstrates that the hypothesis is wrong*, then the hypothesis will lose its acceptance in the scientific community. * Such an experiment would have to be repeatable by other scientists AND accepted by interested scientists as a proof that the hypothesis is wrong.

How do Christians respond to carbon dating?
That will depend on the Christian. Some fully accept the results of scientific measurements, some don't.

What made the scientific community accept wegener's theory years later?
Alfred Wegener was the proponent of the Continental Drift Theory. The scientific community accepted this theory due to the phenomena of paleomagnetism, sea floor spreading and plate tectonics.
How a scientific theory differs from a guess or an opinion?
A hypothesis is a guess based on the knowledge of the scientist who makes it about what will happen in certain conditions. An experiment is designed to test the hypothesis, or observations are made in the conditions that the hypothesis describes. If the experiment or observation proves that the hypothesis is wrong, then the hypothesis is modified or discarded. If many, many different experiments and observations, performed many, many times, by many, many different scientists all seem to support the hypothesis, then the hypothesis comes to be accepted by the scientific community as a good working model for the conditions it describes. It then becomes a theory. At any time, an observation could disprove a theory or at least force it to be modified, but all theories currently accepted at any given time have lots of strong scientific evidence supporting them. (It is impossible to PROVE a theory, only to provide evidence in support of it). A theory will alwaysbe reconsidered in the face of new evidence. An opinion may not be. A theory also has much more evidence behind it than a guess.
