Is it accurate to say that once science has answered a question, it is settled forever?

Yes, the scientific method works so well that once a discovery is made it never changes.

Yes, once a scientific "truth" is discovered there is nothing more to study about the topic.

No, if new evidence is acquired or new perspectives emerge, scientific ideas can be revised or replaced.

No, everything is really science so if a more appealing alternative emerges scientists will generally eliminate old ideas.
