The same way that phlogiston theory was.
Looking back, now, we can see that it’s proponents were plainly and clearly wrong. This is one of the many benefits of hindsight. Thing is, we have access to tools and data they didn’t, and it’s easy to see why they thought what they did, then.
There were, ofc, people who had insisted it was wrong before it was superseded.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Explain, what is the criteria for being scientifically well-established?

Google it for yourself.

Yup, I did; nothing comes up as expected. Should I try Bing or Yahoo?

It’s weird; you’d think a cog sci student with a special interest in biology, who is here to discuss the nuances of the evolution of the human eye, would have this foundational terminology already under his belt. 🤨
Christards thinks god is the supreme truth. Any sophistry good enough to lead them to god, must be more than good enough for evaluating much lesser things like facts and any field of science. He doesn't need no stinking foundation to opine. He only condescend to pretend to have the foundation so he can bland in with the natives, so to speak.
He thinks he is very cleverly science facing, sort of like black facing.

There isn’t any lie too silly for you to tell, is there.
Tell me again that you googled phlogiston theory and nothing came up, lol.
Continuing along, the ideas you’ve been espousing are the basic outlines of the theory that Darwinism superseded, in much the same way that oxygen theory superseded phlogiston theory.

If not mistaken, LFC already posted a snippet or two that answers your question.
Otherwise, Wikipedia Scientific theory and you can see the criteria there.

I did a quick search for "established" in your Wikipedia link. Sadly, it doesn't appear to list the scientific criteria for well-established. Moreover, the page also seems to treat the term well-established as describing some, but not all theories. Which I agree with. Some theories are well established, others are not.
Surely, if well-established isn't just a subjective description of a theory (like good, bad, terrible), criteria must exist between being well-established and not. How would we ever know when something is a theory, is we have no measure of how well-established it is?

We actually don’t have to know the difference between a theory and a hypothesis to point out that you can’t manage to get anything right about whichever you want to call it.
Call it a fuckin fleefkarp if you want, won’t alter the observed fact of your vast and persistent ignorance.

You’re an idiot, and a terribly obvious troll.
