Science isn't wrong.
Mankind's understanding of our world has changed and evolved over time. Living in 2008 gives us many thousands of years of experience and observations to base our current ideas uppon.
We don't have the whole place figured out yet, but we are getting there. Just a couple of generations ago the idea of walking on the moon was science fiction. Today the idea of walking on Mars seems plausable.
Generations ago mankind didn't understand the shape of the earth, it's role in our solar system, or our place in the universe.
A generation ago medical science was light years behind where we are today. My father talks of the days before cutting operations when it was routine to die from things like apendicitis.
No one person seems to be able to hold all of the current scientific knowledge in his head. And, often a scientist seems to be more right than wrong, but never does he seem to be 100% right nor 100% wrong. Future scientists will pick up his work, prove the places he was right, and spend time working on places he was wrong. Along the way we get a better and better view of our world.
Peace,
