What holes are these, that remain to be filled? What coverage is required in order for a hypothesis to graduate into a "theory"? 50%? More? Less?

Science is true until "proven" false?

Shouldn't it, though? What's to say there isn't an alternative explanation that fits the same pseudo-observations better.

Newton's laws succumbed to fault. Perhaps Einstein's would too? There's nothing wrong with taking a scientific approach to life when you're eternal; you can take your time finding the truth. Seeing as we're not, you cannot be certain that you aren't stuck in some local maxima, only to have your belief supplanted centuries later.
