"The science is settled" is a brainwashing idea...

An emotional Engram to stop thinking or questioning on that topic any further. That thing now becomes an object of fervent faith.

Unless we are current with the science we can't know whether the science is settled or not. 

And how many people are really a cross the science in a scientific field? After all, it's so specialised these days.

And even if it is settled it doesn't mean it's right, it just means no-one with any power in the field is questioning it right now.

What tomorrow will hold, who knows?
