Science: We should act on the best information we have available and seek to improve the quality of that information over time. You: I'm gonna just make up my own information and wing it, I guess. Science being wrong is a good thing, it means we are learning and removing falsified information. At every point in time, science will be invalidating the previous state of the art, and at every point in time the current science will seem naive and simple in the future. Expecting nothing to hold is great, it means we're learning and growing as a species. The alternative is ignorance.

Do you believe that scientists act on the best information available? That they really seek to always improve on our understanding of things? If the right company pays them for the research maybe what you say is true.
