Do scientists believe in theories or do they accept them?

After enough test are done, the results are examined and certain
conclusions are reached. Conclusions may be accepted or may be rejected, in which case more testing would be done to see if those conclusions hold up or if another conclusion can be drawn for the results.
There's no
belief involved. Conclusions are never taken for absolute fact. They are simply the best and most consistent (with the rest of known science) answers that we have based on our current knowledge and ability to test. Any scientific conclusion is subject to adjustment or change in light of new information.
