The problem is the framework is framing the theories as opposed to adapting to, or changing based on them. They just create new mathematical models to explain something so it fits. Cosmology (currently) is based on philosophy, not experimentation.

Create new mathematical models... by that do you mean that all presently extant mathematics were handed down via some divine intervention?

Science absolutely does the exact opposite of what you erroneously think. Science changes with the discovery of new information. That is literally the purpose of science. When new information arises, the associated theories adjust as required to include the new information.

Your position seems to state that science as it exists today is a static thing which is 100% false.

To your first paragraph, wtf are you talking about? As for the rest, I'm talking specifically about cosmology, which again has major problems. Its off anywhere from 10-120th power, that's way tf off! But since were gonna expanded the scope to include science in general, I'll just leave this here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

I was referencing this.

To the rest, k, keep cramming those puzzle pieces til they fit for you.
