Science was and is created by man. It is not infallible. That is why it is always changing and not accurate.

And then there is deliberate fraud.

well, let's not overstate the case. Some areas of applied science are not changing constantly. Basic electrical circuits for one. Do electrons exist? Maybe someday we will have a different theory of physics that posits different fundamental concepts, but in the meanwhile your radio from 1960 still works fine and the principles are much the same.

Most engineering disciplines rely on sciences like thermodynamics that are not changing so rapidly that the fields are undergoing constant turmoil. It's just not the case that all sciences are THAT unstable.

I'm talking biologics and medical because they are more dynamic than physical sciences. Physical sciences are more stable.
