No, that is bass ackwards. It is not scientific to look for evidence to support anything. If you go looking for it, you will find it but miss or discount all the evidence that contradicts it. Science studies the evidence first, then follow wherever it leads. Perhaps I should have described the scientific process this way. First an observation is made, then a theory or hypothesis is proposed, followed by evidence being gathered to support or refute the hypothesis. I wasn't suggesting that scientific theories are or can be just pulled out of thin air. That would make no sense.
