Thats not a reflection on science, its a reflection on how complicated the world really is..
We are taught progressively better approximations of the state of the art in school because its impossible to go from 0 to grasping everything in a flash. The state of the art itself changes as science tests old assumptions, which is also limited by the kinds of experiments they can run and tools - like CRISPR is enabling scientists access to precisely mutate genes and run experiments that were not possible before.
Its silly to blame science because all of genetics can't be explained as simply and neatly in 5 minutes as you'd like it to be.
