So you have misunderstood the scientific principle which is the opposite of that. You see in science you have a thing called "falsifiability" So you come up with things that would disprove your theory and look for those.
"One of the tenets behind the scientific method is that any and resultant experimental design must be inherently falsifiable. Although falsifiability is not universally accepted, it is still the foundation of the majority of scientific experiments. Most scientists accept and work with this tenet, but it has its roots in philosophy and the deeper questions of truth and our access to it."
