Why Science Isn't Always Right, But Still Worth Trusting

Science is not perfect. It changes over time. Some people think this means we should not trust it. They point out that scientists have been wrong before. For example, they once thought eggs were bad for you. Then they said eggs were fine. Now they are not sure again.
But this way of thinking is not helpful. It is like saying because some doctors make mistakes, all doctors are bad. Science is not one big thing. It is many small things. Each part has its own rules and reliability.
To understand why this argument is flawed, think about how science works. If you heat some bismuth and it melts at a certain temperature, you might think all bismuth melts at that temperature. But what if you find a piece of bismuth that melts at a different temperature? You would need to investigate further. This is how science progresses. It is not about being right all the time. It is about finding out what is wrong and correcting it.
The key is to have a balanced view of science. You should not believe everything you hear. But you should also not dismiss everything just because it changes. Science is a process. It is always learning and improving. This is why it is worth trusting, even if it is not always right.
