Like I admit god is possible, yes.
I just see it as very improbable, so I reject it.

Faith and Science are mutually exclusive.

It's an open thought, yes; but not a practical or likely one.
Science changes because it is self-correcting; it learns. That is why it is so spectacular; it only gets more informed.
