"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Newton knew that knowledge evolves. He wouldn't be an adversary to progress, as he saw its natural course, himself.

Because science is a liar sometimes.

I won't change my mind, cause I don't have to. Cause I'm an American. I won't change my mind on anything, regardless of the facts that are set out before me. I'm dug in, and I'll never change.

Science is fallible though. Everyone would do themselves a service to remember that. A scientific fact is the best answer we have with the available information we have at the moment. That is the beauty of science, it's willing to change if better evidence presents itself.

I still find it funny that einstein tried to get his mistress to move in with his wife.
