That sounds as if the scientists are wrong but someone else is right.
Although this is a truism (since science by default does not deal with absolute truth) what makes you think that someone other is right, and how you know that? Doesn't that also make you a scientist, since you discovered new knowledge?

I think the GP's wording was a little hostile toward scientists in tone, but I also think that may have been unintentional, based on the second sentence. Science is constantly improving on current ideas, which is great! Let's keep doing it!
