Best Answer

In a very real sense, scientists are always trying to prove themselves wrong. That's what it means to form a hypothesis and test it in order to "falsify" a theory. The best way to prove something in science is wrong is to become a real scientist, and investigate the subject you believe has errors using the scientific method yourself. You could also try watching "Mythbusters". Despite being entertainment, they actually do real science every week.

How has religion changed over time because of science?

Many religions have been changed overtime by scientific facts either supporting them or proving them wrong. For example, many scientists believe and support the hypothesis of evolution. Proven evidence may change the way someone looks on their own religion.

Time travel and time machines are things of science fiction at the moment. Theoretical scientists have identified ways to move through time but this is still a long way from a practical application.
