I'm not anti science but I do think that a lot of 'facts' would be better called 'current thinking'
The scientific community have a particular desire of mocking, for example, old wives tales eg that rubbing an onion on the sole of the feet helps the body recover from a cold... This was all rubbished by the scientific community as nonsense, until someone sciency did some research and found that there's something in onions which helps the immune system and the part of the body must able to absorb this was the soles of the feet. At which point it became a scientific discovery.
And there's been ample cases where new ideas from *within* the scientific community have been already universally ridiculed by the rest of the scientific community, because they challenge accepted thinking.... Only to be proved correct decades later. But up until that time, the new ideas weren't facts. They weren't even regarded as unproven theories. They were regarded as untrue.
