But the number of scientists who believe in a theory, in this modern day, post-scientific method, is an extremely, extremely good indicator of what theories are correct.

Very few theories are overturned wholesale anymore. Newton wasn’t ‘overturned’ by Einstein, he was added to. Einstein wasn’t ‘overturned’ by quantum mechanics, but added to. Darwin wasn’t overturned by the Modern Synthesis, but completely validated and added to.
