Why is the atomic theory a scientific one

Hope this helps some

"In chemistry and physics, atomic theory is a scientific theory of the nature of matter, which states that matter is composed of discrete units called atoms. ... In fact, in certain extreme environments, such as neutron stars, extreme temperature and pressure prevents atoms from existing at all."

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.
