Science is intent on proving themselves right on every issue, and yet we find them changing their facts every few years.




In defense of science, it must change, simply because new discoveries will very often invalidate previous knowledge.

That's what science is all about - making new discoveries and revising current knowledge to suit these discoveries.

I don't think science is intent on proving itself always right; in fact good scientists realize this and will say so. However, science is quoted by many people as the absolute non-changing truth. I doubt seriously that scientists claim that current scientific knowledge is the "end-all and be-all".

When I was in high school, today's everyday electronics weren't even in some weird scientist's wildest dreams. What was "true" then, is not "true" now.
