Changing the rules by folding old theories into new ones every 50 to 100 years or so is the ultimate cherry in cherry picking.

Make new discoveries and trash the old, one theory is obsolete but the new one is gold.

At one time we - mostly thanks to supernatural belief, earlier, and religion, later - thought the earth was the center of the universe and the Sun, planets and stars revolved around us.

We were wrong.

Science, unlike religion, allows for correction.

Never forget what the Catholic Church did to Galileo.
