Science has been around a long time. So which science? The science of 1821 was different than the science of 2051 will be. Science is only our best guess, today.

Right, science is the continual quest for knowledge. Quest being the key term here because part of the scientific method is to continue to test any and all hypotheses. It’s an acknowledgment that we don’t know, but we are striving to know more.

Correct, science without debate isn't science.

The left doesn't want to debate, because they alone want to decide what is "scientific fact" - and they always make their decisions from a purely political standpoint.

Exactly that science. The one were nothing is final and everything is up for being disproven. That was the exact same in 1821 and will be in 2051.

Changes on that scale are to be expected. We make advancements in what we can observe and measure and experiment with, and with those advancements come changes in our understanding of the universe. What makes it ridiculous is that science is changing day-to-day on political and social whims, rather than changes in our understanding.

That's a feature not a bug. We learn more. Achieve better technology. Then we update the current best understanding to the new data. That's how it works.

That's the point they are making. If you say "don't question it" you are obviously not paying attention because of exactly that, shit changes.

I know but ITT people keep using the word science as if it's a thing. Science is a verb. It's something you do, not something you believe in.
