As a scientist, this phrase, and it's like, causes me to grind my teeth.
Science is not correct or incorrect. A hypothesis might be correct, or it might be incorrect. If it is known or suspected to be incorrect that is because there is evidence that it is incorrect. The collection of evidence and it's application to validate or invalidate a hypotheses is science, not some absolute statement about what "science" "holds" or does not hold.
