Like the science of Galileo and Copernicus? Oh, but of course...we enjoy the benefits of their science a mere hundreds of years after their work.
Everyone loves a story. Cosmologists, archaeologists, anthropologists, evolutionists--tell great stories. Some are plausible, many are entertaining, a few provoke insight.
But none of those "ists" tell a story considered "The Greatest Story Ever Told"....
Look what happens when an evolutionary notion is debunked after a better notions comes along
Look at what? It hasn't happened yet...
nobody dies from a bad reaction, no bridge falls down, no piece of shuttle garbage explodes.
Yes, yes...kind of like when a biblical story previously thought of as literal truth is shown to be figurative. But some of us can still hold the message as valid; faith doesn't HAVE to be as fragile as you think.
Indeed? There are so many threads on FR I couldn't count them about "new" ideas in evolution. The latest and most interesting concerned a woman scientist (I noticed that, yes) who found tissue of a dinosaur--not a fossil, but some residual tissue--and calls into question either the assumed age of dinosaurs or the presumed decay-time of said dinosaur.
And the infantile sniggerings about a discovered "new" beaver really did the maturity of the FRevos proud!
Evo ideas are regularly abandoned. But they just fade into the cosmos with little dismay, along with other fairy tales gone stale. A bad pharmeceudical is accountable in a scientific way. It gets tested, it seems to cure, but fails.
Evolution can't fail, therefore it is not science.
