Star Trek is, and always has been science fantasy/adventure. Science fiction involves known science, or nearly known science as a key element to plot development. ST builds plots and then makes up fantasy science to fit. Yes, it uses devices that will require a greater scientific knowledge to build, but the message has always been more of a social study than true science fiction. The term is an overused generality that has become a label for any future story.
