There are many scientific theories out there. Some of them are mainstream, others are completely out of mainstream. Whatever their appeal however, how are we to know that a given scientific point of view is better or more accurate than another? Every theory has flaws after all, so how can we be sure that we're on the right track? Is there really a "right track"? Hasn't modern science taught us through its so-called "axiomatic method" that all knowledge is by necessity partial and fragmentary? Aren't we then forever subordinated to an arbitrary choice of postulates that will give us arbitrary theories and arbitrary knowledge? Is that what modernity brought us: knowledge as a matter of taste or "elegance" ? Or else, are we missing something?
