A. No, no it's not. This hasn't even started to be peer reviewed and can't even begin to be accepted as a new "fact" yet.
B. We know an incredible amount about how things "really work" and every year we add yet more knowledge.
C. No one said science is written in stone. Science is knowledge to the best available evidence, which is all we have to go on. There are no alternatives except unsubstantiated guesses or superstition so you'd be stupid not to have faith in it. It's the only reliable and testable framework we have of understanding the world. Science is how you're posting on a forum made of 1's and 0's.
