Once again, the word "fact" never enters into it. Researchers "observe" the human body (or whatever they are studying) and make "theories" to explain those observations.

It does not end with theories.

scientific method - The principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis, and a conclusion that validates or modifies the hypothesis.
