Not quite. A scientific theory must be falsifiable, else it is not a theory. The theory hangs on evidence whose interpretation, by consensus, strongly supports it. However any half-decent scientist is ready to modify or abandon the theory should future discoveries require it.
It is not, therefore, as clear or as undeniable as 2+2=4, which in any case is not a scientific theory based on the interpretation of evidence, but a theorem founded on mathematical proofs.
