in no way suggests that every and all scientific theories are bound to be overturned and THEREFORE we ought now give much weight to them because, after all, things have been over turned in the past.
Did not mean to insinuate that at all. I would not be at all surprised, however, if some basic, accepted tenet was overturned and shown to be absolutely false.
Ok. there are entirely too mny large words being bandied about in this thread. I think I will go check out some of the "lighter" threads on the board where I can stick to my more natural 2 syllable words.

I would.
"Absolutely false" suggests some radical misunderstanding...and I don;t think there's simply any room for that possibility given just how many fields so perfectly intertwine with the theory of evolution. It's crazy how many fields line up and how many things would have to be wrong...and I mean WAY wrong, for it to be overturned in some radical way.
Tweaks...sure. Like going from the idea that the earth was a sphere to measuring it with greater precision and learning it's actually bigger at the equator, etc...but we simply know far too much to find out it's not generally what we've known now for 150 years.
