our grasp of such is always changing
Your phrasing there confirms that the science doesn't change; only our grasp of it. Science is the mechanics behind the universe (including the functionality behind the tiny, inconsequential lumps of matter that move around and form opinions on how everything works). Our not knowing or comprehending all of science cannot change the way things work. It's like not knowing CSS doesn't make it not exist. Unfortunately.

wrong. Science is the study of the mechanics behind the universe. The universe's workings don't change, but our science (i.e., our understanding of the universe) does. Go read the dictionary. Science derives from the latin root word "scien" which means "to know". A scientist is someone who "knows".

Indeed. Not "to theorise" or "to opine"; "to know". If it ain't a fact, or it ain't true, it ain't science.

Indeed. Not "someone who theorises", or "someone who has an opinion"; "someone who knows". If it ain't a fact, or it ain't true, it's only an opinion or a theory. Get an education. It beats the crap out of a search engine. And look up "good manners", whilst you're at it.

Sorry, misremembered from high school latin class. It's been a few years. So since you agree that science means "to know" or "knowledge" then science is what humans do, not what the universe is. What humans know about the universe constantly changes, hence science constantly changes. My disagreeing with your beliefs is not ill mannered.

Sure, just the way it's phrased.

You used 2 examples where science has not changed, that we know of. Here's 2 where it has changed. Global warming and wine being good for you. And, here's a third, eggs being good for you. How the earth came about. Man evolving from apes. And http://eprints.brighton.ac.uk/17519/1/SSR%20September%202017%20121-129%20Sosabowski%20%26%20Gard.pdf[^]. So, not sure why you're up so high on your high horse. Maybe you meant something other than what you actually wrote?
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

"It's not what we don't know that gets us into trouble. It's what we know that ain't so." It's a quote from somewhere (I don't remember where I read it.). I'm thinking of phlogiston, or the aether.

I know you believe you understand what you think he wrote, but what you read is not what he meant. ;)
