” Every new discovery seems to throw their old theories out the window. lol. “

That’s what ‘theories’ and ‘hypotheses’ are supposed to be for - to test against reality, to be proven, changed, or scrapped as the data indicate...

NOT to be defended with doctored data, so they can be used to justify policies which will bankrupt nations.....

Except evolution. They got that one perfect the first time and there is no possibility of being the slightest bit wrong. Do not touch the holy grail.

But you are right. Other than that, all theories are transient until better data is found.
