Surely the nature of "settled" science is that it represents the present best understanding we have. That the science is "settled" means the knowledge is widely accepted, well-supported, and, for the present, is the most reliable. But the constant of science is being open to re-examination in light of new thoughts, new evidence and natural change. Thus the delight of Science is, like life, an ever-evolving process with few, if any, absolute truths.
The ever-evolving quest to learn, understand and explain should be held dear as almost divine; lest we slip back into the dark ages. I for one, have no desire to return yo cave dwelling. 😁
