I could be wrong but that's not how 'science' (not homogenous) works.
Science doesn't start with a conclusion and work backwards to prove it. It starts with a hypothesis and follows the evidence where it leads (either to support or disagree with it).
"I don't know" is the more reasonable and logical response to any question one doesn't actually know the answer to. Science is a tool we use to explore further and further into the unknown. If the answer to question 1 is 1000 other questions, then so be it. That's the 'magic' of science.

Well that's how science is supposed to work but in reality its not; just try and get funding to research for non current medical beliefs on curing cancer. Its called Paradigm Shift if science worked the scientific method properly as you outlined i'm quite sure we would be beyond the pill popping chop it out stage in medicine by now. But theres money in pills as ther is money in fossil fuels so why change.
