How I Learned to Love Pseudoscience

Humans may not understand, that does not change the validity of said science.

As little as 200 years ago there wasn't anyone who understood the lifecycle of a star, that did nothing to change the science of the lifecycle of stars

First of all, "science" is a method, not a institution, so it's not meaningful to say science is always right or wrong.  The method is sound and produces results; that's the most you can say with confidence.

Your star statement is true, but don't confuse scientific methodology with technology.  The reason we understand what we do about stars is because of telescopic technology.  Without that we would still know very little about stars except for their movements.  Their composition, distance, age, internal functioning, all of that would still be mostly speculation.
Why is it so?
