I remember once reading somewhere that theories in science don't necessarily disprove and succeed each other - merely that when proponents of less popular theories die they often take their theory with them.This is just uninformed scientific nihilism. In the last 25 years humans have confirmed the existence of exoplanets, discovered the universe is expanded at an increasing rate of speed, measured gravity waves from colliding neutron stars (which also confirmed the genesis of many heavy elements) and discovered that super massive black holes are at the center of nearly all galaxies. And that's just a few of the scientific discoveries from astronomy.
So even in science there is no absolute right or wrong, merely an accepted consensus which can change from day to day. Much like the butter or margarine debate which has seen both sides on top at one time or another. Sometimes even old forgotten theories eg Flat Earth, can attempt a comeback!
However this lack of consensus only applies to cutting edge science. It does not mean that the vast amount of accumulated scientific knowledge is held in contention. Indeed there have been no major upheavals in scientific thought for almost one hundred years.
There's more happening between human beings than figuring out what power cord to use.
