I'm not sure what science indoctrination you're speaking of. What do you mean by that? And I'd say a better description is
trusting the scientific method. Faith is belief in something with no evidence. Trust is based upon a pattern of evidence.
I don't think science should be looked at as infallible or constant. Not in the slightest. Science is ever changing. And that's not a bad thing at all as long as it's almost always changing for the better. Improving. Change is fine as long as it's in the proper direction. The laws of nature need continuous challenge and reevaluation.
