Since there is a rule that states "i" before "e" except after "c", wouldn't "science" be spelled wrong?

This rule, essentially applies to "ie" or "ei" which have an "ee" (long e) sound. Others (ay or other sounds) are usually spelled "ei."

Nope. There is another part of that rule. I'll be damned if I can remember how it goes though.
