Science is based on observation, rather than on dogma. Everything in science is constantly being tested. Scientists are trained to take nothing on faith, but to observe as much as they can. Scientists know that they may observe something that other scientists missed. So scientific error (or fraud) does get detected.

Theories that can not be tested are just wild ideas.
