Why is it important that scientific theories can be modified as new information comes to light?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it would be like if mankind did not change through evolution over time. SO it is important that theories change over time as we find things out we didnt know before. If everything stayed as we always thought then we would think the earth was still flat. Know that the earth is round and using this information in other studies has helped us create orbiting satellites etc.
