Scientific evidence consists of observations and experimental results that serve to support, refute, or modify a scientific hypothesis or theory, when collected and interpreted in accordance with the scientific method. In philosophy, the study of evidence is closely tied to epistemology, which considers the nature of knowledge and how it can be acquired. Empirical evidence (in science)[edit] In law, the production and presentation of evidence depends first on establishing on whom the burden of proof lies. After deciding who will carry the burden of proof, evidence is first gathered and then presented before the court: Conclusions drawn from evidence may be subject to criticism based on a perceived failure to fulfill the burden of proof.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6991.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6991.txt
