It is not neccessarily_ not_ science to try to find evidence to support a hyphothesis. And unscientific efforts can be made to break one. The important issue there is objectivity.

I think it has to do with rigor and whether you are using the scientific method.

Examine the evidence, come up with a hypothesis and test it to failure. Revise and repeat until it ceases to fail, at which point you probably have a valid hypothesis.

Where the problem is has to do with whether people are trying to find evidence to support a hypothesis, or trying to find a way to break the hypothsis (one is not science, the other is).
