Doesn't the need for a constant redefinition and
improvement process prove that science is screwed up?


No, it proves that science is willing to admit when it is
incorrect, and likes to self correct.

Respectfully, I might note that you seem to be trying to have it
both ways in all this. You want certainty, you profess skepticism. But
you insist that because science has been wrong, that it must always be
wrong, or at least we must assume that it is probably wrong, so don't
believe it.some science somewhere must be correct at some point.
Otherwise we might as well say things are like they are because God wants
them that way. We are then sure, and all is well

Skepticism when taken to extremes, bears an unsettling resemblance to
faith.
