Question

Theories are temporary conclusions that require more evidence while laws are conclusions that are better established in the literature. True or False?

Answer 1

False.

If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step known as a theory in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon. Tanner further explained that a scientific theory is the framework for observations and facts.

A conclusion of law is a determination by a judge or ruling authority regarding the law that applies in a particular case. For example, a conclusion of law may determine that evidence cannot be introduced in a trial, based on evidentiary rules excluding illegally obtained evidence.
