Is the Filter Theory committing the ad hoc fallacy and is it unfalsifiable?

When I look for causes in the world, I look for causes that are consistent with science, knowing that science is steadily advancing, hopefully getting closer to that ideal, complete physics.

The definition of faith; the antithesis of the scientific endeavor.

Certainly you can see how easy it is to imagine a similar sentiment being uttered in support of prevailing 'sciences' of days past?  I'm sure Copernicus had plenty of otherwise intelligent folks telling him his heliocentric theory was 'woo' since it wasn't 'consistent with Ptolemic science'.
