You would like me to write down every scientific theory that was accepted then subsequently proven wrong ? The scientific community has accepted lots of ideas that seemed right at the time so they filled the gaps in their knowledge with inaccurate theories and wrong assumptions, not intentionally but those theories and assumptions were still wrong.

But they're theories and ment to be proven wrong.

God supposed to be unquestionable truth, that's the problem.

But you are back to orthodox religion again and what some people have said "God" is. "God" is unquestionable because it makes it harder to discredit their religion. Why can "God" not simply be a very advanced being. Take the religion out of it and it's not far from is there other life in the universe.

... whereas Science [or at least epistemology], done properly, denies the
very existence of apodictic certainty.
