Good quote. But, simplistic. All science is theory and subject to refinement. Much of what I was taught in school was incorrect. But, the basic mechanics of physics still work for nearly all practical purposes. Even the simple machines: inclined plane, lever, wedge, wheel and axle, pulley, and screw, still work after millennia. And, no question, scientific knowledge trumps non-scientific knowledge by light years.
"I don't think outside the box; I think of what I can do with the box." - Henri Matisse
Simplistic, yes, but a lot of his publications were for the general public.
Perhaps, what may be more important than science at any one time in history, is the scientific method. https://study.com/academy/answer/wha...ic-method.html

Don't be 'consistent', but be simply true.
Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.
The mind of a bigot to the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour on it, the more it contracts.
