Yeah, this is just how science works - there is no One Truth but a never ending attempt to approach it. That does mean sometimes they got it wrong, yet the scientific consensus is still the best approximation of reality you will find.
Think about the shape of earth or the theory of gravity. It isn't truly round nor was Newton fully correct but both theories were more correct than their predecessors and we improved on them since. And probably will improve more in the future.
The fact that science isn't perfect doesn't mean it is useless - compare it to medicine. The fact that in complicated cases no two doctors would pic the exact same therapy does neither mean it makes no difference (there certainly are ways to do things wrong in medicine) nor that there is no way to judge. It is 'just' complicated.
