A Call to expertise is actually a fallacy. This is because experts can be wrong.

The scientific method relies on evidence and reproducible results, not authority alone.

The fact is that in science, facts are only definitions and everything else is a theory which by definition is never 100% true.

Which definition of theory includes that it can never be 100% true? It can't be proven to be true, but surely it could be true without anyone knowing about it.
