There is always evidence to support a THEORY that's why its a theory. Its where the evidence originates that is important. Or to quote from Einstein: While I was thinking of this problem in my student years, I came to know the strange result of Michelson’s experiment. Soon I came to the conclusion that our idea about the motion of the Earth with respect to the ether is incorrect, if we admit Michelson’s null result as a fact. This was the first path which led me to the special theory of relativity. Since then I have come to believe that the motion of the Earth cannot be detected by any optical experiment, though the Earth is revolving around the Sun.” <eq> Hmmm I wonder if he was on top of his house, when he thought up his idea of not being able to prove, but knowing it revolved anyways....
