The idea that a theory is 'wrong' is more aligned with non-scientific definitions of theories. A theory is only replaced when a better one is postulated and then later adopted, as a theory is based on a body of knowledge and not single data points.
Good discussion.

We should not, IMO, dictate political and social movements based on a theory that is still being debated in onus. Unlike of course the whole creationism/evolution debate. Again, falls back on using resources efficiently versus condemning their current usage as a the downfall of the planet. And I've yet to see a theory that states that humans are the sole cause of global/climate change, unlike the fact that the earth has its own system regardless of human existence.
