I would have to respectfully disagree with Bern there - science is most certainly not a belief system. Science is a tool used to explain how the universe functions via natural laws through repeatable independently verifiable evidence obtained via testing, it requires no subjective belief. If I was to join the Amish community and reject medical care, it would not stop me contracting a treatable virus. If I were to reject Newtonian Laws, it's not as if everything in my house will suddenly start floating. The point is physical laws apply universally whether or not there is an observer present to ''believe' in them. For example, dinosaur metabolism is well understood, and the physical evolution of the planets and moons of the Solar System obey well understood geological principles.
When exactly has science been proven wrong? If science is found to be lacking to adequately explain an event, then it will requires revision to the theory; this does not undermine the principles of science itself. In fact, I would challenge anyone to come up with an observable phenomenon that lies outside known scientific laws and requires a different framework of explanation.
