Don't know if this will help, but. . .

. . . as I see it, there are two types of scientific "knowledge". One is absolute - such as a mathematical proof. The other is provisional, based more on experiments and observations (the kind Scott linked to in his OP). Provisional knowledge is subject to change if new experiments and observations undermine it and lead to modifications of our understanding. I think that's where we run into trouble with, for instance, evolution deniers who always make the point that "well, evolution is just a theory!". It's just a theory only in the sense that knowledge can be provisional. We've been operating on the provisional knowledge we acquired from Darwin for over a hundred years now.
