Because it's always best to trust the best information AVAILABLE.

Just because science corrects itself doesn't mean it doesn't get anything right. Just because it gets closer to the truth doesn't mean that beforehand it was a hundred miles from it.
Rwandrall Wrote:So how can we trust the current knowledge we have, including evolution for example, knowing its likely to become obsolete ?

You DON'T know that it's likely to become obsolete.

What about all the countless facts and theories of science that HAVEN'T become obsolete? Why are you ignoring them?
