Yes, there is competition in science as in any field, but your statement about replication is patently false. Any theory that becomes part of the scientific fabric will be tested and replicated. (look at cold fusion for example)
I get the feeling you have a significant burr under your saddle or chip on your shoulder with respect to science or science for some reason.
