Answer to Question 1

A good scientist never accepts a hypothesis as true. Scientists are investigators who remain skeptical until they have the data to support their hypotheses. Even then, they depend on further verification of the findings by themselves or other scientists.

Answer to Question 2

Universal determinism is the assumption that all natural phenomena have antecedent factors. Modern science did not develop until people gave up supernatural explanations for events and began to use observation as a source of knowledge.
