The statement 'a scientific theory can never be disproven' is FALSE. It depends on the emergence of new lines of evidence.

A scientific theory is a given explanation of some aspect of the natural world, which is sustained by much evidence obtained using the scientific method.

In a scientific theory, the evidence was tested in repeated situations and consequently confirmed.

However, scientific theories can be refuted (rejected) in the light of new lines of evidence.
