Answer:

In science a theory is said to be valid when there is a true scientific consensus, it cannot be judged only based on intuition, faith or authoritarianism of any kind.

This consensus is created in the scientific community based on its empirical, experimental and conceptual logic.

The scientific consensus accepts the veracity of theories from the repetition of tests under the same conditions and theoretical assumptions.
