Is there a possibility that research and testing on current theories will lead to a refinement of scientific models especially as new technologies continue to develop? Yes. I think any change would be more apparent if there were more efforts at consolidating the ever specialized avenues of research.
Are people holding too much faith in current scientific models and/or scientists? I would say given the state of science education and the perceived general apathy towards science in the media and popular culture the answer would be no. There is no common "faith" among the populace in the first place. Combine the apathy with the large amount of antipathy towards scientific understanding among a variety of political and social leaders my answer would be a resounding no.
