Never said that it was. Your belief system is of no concern to me so long as it doesn't infringe on my life in an adverse manner. Just because I don't believe in the supernatural doesn't mean that I don't believe that you have the right to.

You are free to worship your couch if it makes you happy, just don't drag it up on my porch and harangue me to worship it too.

Scientists do disagree, sometimes on really big things, like a steady state universe versus an expanding universe, but eventually they reach a consensus agreement the majority of the time. Then they move on. Oftentimes someone discovers that a theory needs refinement, like the Theory of Gravity, and so it is further refined. It's fair to say that theories are constantly refined as new evidence presents itself.
