Everyone on here grew up learning Pluto is a planet, now the science says it is not. Scientific consensus once said the Earth was flat and the center of the solar system. Science "PROVED" the Jews were inferior. How many things are "proven" harmful, just to be "proven" a benefit a week later? We're watching supposed "laws" being challenged regularly today, such as the speed of light. Science is not about answers, but about more questions. Treating "scientific consensus" as reality, is no different from believing religious texts literally.
She's probably keeping you as a failsafe. Maybe she wants someone else to ask her. You can ask someone else and see what happens.

Science, rather scientific observations and conclusions, are constantly shifting and changing as we acquire more and more knowledge about the world and the way things operate.
So, to say that science is not reliable simply because at one time the consensus was different than it is now is completely false.
The last time CO2 concentration was that high, sea levels were 30 meters higher than they currently are, which means say goodbye to all coastal cities.
So Eugenics was based on a flawed theory to begin, and as such is a pretty bad example. And science is certainly not immune to ideological distortions, which is exactly what happened with Eugenics.

Science, rather scientific observations and conclusions, are constantly shifting and changing as we acquire more and more knowledge about the world and the way things operate. Therefor, if all or most of the evidence at one time points to the Earth being flat, for example, it is scientifically sound to assume it is so.
