Or has it never occurred to you that science could be wrong about something?

Pluto used to be a planet. And until the early to mid 1900's most scientists believed there was no beginning of real space and real time. etc.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Pluto used to be a planet.

This has always struck me as one of the lamest anti-science arguments out there, and it surprises me to see it coming from such a thoughtful poster as yourself. This would only be an example of science being "wrong" if the change was due to our knowledge about Pluto being wrong, or if there was some objective standard of planetude that we were wrong about. In fact, though, it was a simple definitional change: astronomers defined "planet" in a certain way (there was no official definition before) that lumped Pluto with 40-odd other, similar, non-"planet" bodies rather than with the 8 "true" planets. Nobody was wrong about anything.
