But often what was considered "scientific truth" has been dis-proven by new evidence. Some areas of science are simply theories that wait to be tested. Much of science is trial and error, without "truth".
I meant what I said. Science is not immutable. It is a process.
I am not sure if you understand science. No well established scientific theory has been disproven. They get just updated and polished with new information. Informal meaning of the word "theory' is not the same as meaning of scientific theory.
Idea not tested is not a theory but hypothesis.
Also, science never claims to discover ultimate truth is it is impossible to know everything. Science only attempts to get as closer to truth about natural world as possible.
Like you said, it is changing over time but it does not mean that established scientific theories are suddenly dropped. Scientific theory to be correct requires fitting with all other scientific theories about reality.
Sorry but this is simply not true. There are multiple articles about scientific theories that are obsolete, proven false, etc. Here is the least slanted I could find, from Wikipedia:

Sounds like this article is advocating for Scientism:

Did you actually read the article? Those "theories seem to be from 16-18th century (some ancient). While still the concept of Scientific Method needed a lot of improvement, before such ideas as falsifiability was added, etc. Current well established theories are unlikely to be completely debunked. Anyhow if that happened, the science would just accept new idea and move forward. Same would happen in RBE. That us why it is called emergent system. That what makes it different from current social system that is by design resistant to any change.
" Scientific Method Made Easy"
Yes I did actually read the article! Doesn't mean I have to agree with it. But I don't have to. :)
Perhaps the design of the current social system being resistant to change is the whole point.
