I think the apotheosis is not the result of science, but the method by which those results are arrived at or observed. Do you have a hypothesis, and do you reject/alter that hypothesis based on what you observe in reality? (Or, more literally, based on the manipulations of reality that you perform in the course of experiments?)

Being willing to believe things based on what reality says is the thing we should value. And it should be very highly-valued indeed.
