Default Do Theories Have to be Testable to be Scientific?

The definition of "scientific" doesn't include "testable".


I think we should at least settle this question; Can an hypothesis,
theory, principle, claim or statement be scientific if it is not
testable?


No hypothesis can be considered part of the scientific method if it is not
fundamentally disprovable.
