i knew i should have put detail into my question, im not talking about science a thousand years ago

Until this century, Science belived the atom could not be split, the sound barrier was as fast as you can move, and at the moment the speed of light is the limit to material velocity. Hah! Silly Humans.
Oh yes and evolution has not been proven one way or the other. The jury is still out. T H E O R Y not proved, not fact. Theory. Look up the definition.

In just the last fifteen years...computers could not think. wrong. The jumbo jet could not fly...wrong...a telephone where you could see the other person who you are talking to will never be a reality...wrong..Science is always right until they make the next discovery that proves what they thought was right is actually wrong. Re: your edit. Science is science is science. Whether it is a thousand years ago or yesterday. Every day they disprove an old theory. That is what science is all about....and rightly so. It is how we progress.
Hate to bring it up...but, man will eventually realize that the evolutionary theory won't stand up to science that we will have in just a few more years.

In the 19th century science believed that Phrenology was a valid science. Phrenology is the study of bumps on the head which directly relates to personality traits. After much study, science concluded that there is no correlation. In that respect science was wrong. Which is the great thing about science, the ability to admit when something isn't correct or is going wrong.

The most famous example was Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, which showed that Newtonian mechanics, which had reigned supreme for three centuries, was flawed. A minor example occurred much more recently, when it was discovered that some of the "inert" gases could form some compounds. There have been a number of examples in atomic physics, such as Niels Bohr's original conception of the atom being shown to be wrong. The one common element in all of these theories was that (for technical reasons) it was not possible to prove them correct -- it was only possible to prove them to be wrong. Now we come to the theory of evolution: it is possible to prove that it is correct, and I have done so; details on request.

Oh, science is wrong about 90% of the time, maybe more. It was once scientifically accepted that non-whites were incapable of being as intelligent as caucasians. More recently, about half the scientists who worked on the Manhatten project to develop the first nukes were convinced that a nuclear explosion would ignite the atmosphere and destroy all life on Earth.
The beauty of science is that being wrong is built into the system. The point of experimentation is to determine if your hypothesis is correct or not. If not, you alter the hypothesis and try again.

Science continuously evolves so is always working to prove its theories. Theories have been proved wrong, but I don't know of a single scientific law that has been proved wrong yet (mathematically by a matter of micro-measures does not count). On the other hand, religion has become stagnant and refuses to reform toward greater understanding, so they label science as a lie...yada, yada, yada.

The "scientific" medical treatment of bleeding has been discontinued for a long time now.
However, is the problem individual theories or the general concept of science? Such errors don't really highlight an error in scientific method, but human behavior. For those sorts of errors, their numbers are legion.

when was evolution proved wrong?
I'd like to hear about this!
To the person below, flat earth was religion suppressing science, they burned people and crucified them for even thinking the earth was round or that the sun didn't circle it.
Not to mention, science isn't set in stone, its always learning and revising its material to better suit what it learns. It doesn't explain the unknown with miracles.

The beauty of science is that it's ALWAYS being re-written as new evidence comes in. Even evolutionary theory is still being refined. The fact that science "changes its mind" about things is its STRENGTH, not its weakness.

Tomorrow's science will make today's science obsolete. Science and Christianity are on the same parallel roads to the same destination.
