Why are theories and laws not absolute?
Because they may not apply in all situations.The first law of thermodynamics is true everywhere.The second law of thermodynamics isn't true inside the event horizon of a black holeThe third law of thermodynamics isn't a law but merely a point of reference to make measurements from.Newtonian laws of motion are not absolutely true but are only approximately true but valid for things that travel at less than 1/2 the speed of light.
What is the difference between science and history?

Why is skepticism an important quality in a scientist?
Skepticism seeds the questions that often turn into good research, so that what is said will be tested again and again to see if it is always true. Scientists tend not to believe everything they hear, because while it opens them up to new theories, they need hardcore evidence to back up those theories. A flimsy conclusion or hypothesis based on even more weak and flimsy evidence is one of the worst things a scientist can make. It not only shows incompetence in being a scientist, but is increasingly embarrassing to the rest of the scientific world.
Why aren't theories considered absolute truth?
Theories aren't considered absolute truths because science is always changing; as new evidence is uncovered, a theory may be revised or replaced by a more useful explanation.
Why is astrology considered a psuedo-science?

Is disagreement necessary to progress?
You should disagree with everything, to believe in ultimate truths is to have faith in the truth, faith is not an argument of reason. The world was once flat, leaching your blood was a healthy choice, and Eve was the villain of the human race. The truths we know now are only truths undefined. One million years from now our truths will seem like rantings from a caveman. Yes, disagreement to absolute certainty of knowledge is required for progress. Our scientific history was reliant upon such disagreement.
Why does the church teach there can be no conflict between religious truth and scientific and historical truth?
Because religious truth is of God, and the others are of man. God is absolute, man is faulty at best. You need to be able to differenciate between these, and not mix the truths and faults.

What are the two truths of reality in Buddhism?

Is it true that science rarely develops absolute truths that apply to all living things?
No, because science is based off of observation. Scientists use experimentation and observation to explain the world around us. However, the scientific theories they come up with are only as good as the experiments and observations they make. When something is proven over and over again, people usually accept it as true (like the existence of gravity). However, many scientific theories have been disproven later on throughout history, meaning science isn't always 'true'.
