Just another way of saying that a theory is just a belief system. Doesn't matter how you arrive at your conclusions it's a theory. A belief based ultimately on the unknowable, and as information is accumulated and disproved what was once taken as "law", is replaced by another speculative "theory" to explain it.

In the study of the universe a known, known suddenly becomes a known unknown because a simple observation of a phenomenon not expected around a black hole or other event doesn't meet the expected results.

The theory of evolution has undergone numerous corrections in the years since it was first purposed. Arguments still abound. All based on a belief system, each scientist confident that their "theory" is correct.

The "laws" of nature change routinely as "science" explores the cosmos and discovers what once was "believed" to be a trueism doesn't apply in a particular instance and "science" can't agree. 

Most science contradicts itself the more you study the cosmos.

Simple question, can matter/energy be destroyed?

See Hawkins paradox.

There is more in the universe we don't understand than things we do yet many will eliminate the possibility of a higher intelligence, because it's not yet an observable event.

I will state again, I'm a science kind of guy, but at least I understand that even science doesn't really understand the universe, it only develops more "theories" to explain what is currently observable.
