What claim did i make against a specific scientific theory, law, etc, that places the burden of proof on me?

Theory comes before experimentation. The reason why anyone would experiment is to test a theory. Therefore experimentation does not breed theory.

We have a set scientific method for a reason, because it works almost universally.
Following from fact doesn't necessarily make them supported by fact or true. After all, you wouldn't require things like the scientific method if they were never unfounded. Yet, even if experimentation allowed for shaping a theory to follow from more facts, in the end it is still an interpretation of evidence. Evidence can only support itself; it can only declare its own existence and nothing further. Theories merely expound on evidence, never vice versa.
