That’s the nature of science. When you get more information, you have to integrate it and recalculate. Religion doesn’t allow any new information, so there’s never any question of reconsidering your conclusions.

Science should not hold fast to one theory and then just twist all "new information" so that the same tired old theory "still works".

Religion doesn't allow new information? How about miracles? How about healing through prayer? From a religious standpoint, such events are new information which confirm how the world is supposed to work. But a materialist will cross their arms, shake their head, and say "That new information is bogus. The world doesn't work that way. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't."

From where I sit, what you just posted is pure projection: Religion takes new information and gets stronger, while science never reconsiders its conclusion, it just manipulates data so that the new inputs don't threaten the agreed upon position.

I disagree. Judaism and most branches of Christianity have incorporated information form science quite well, if however laboriously.

The Vatican Observatory houses one of the best meteorite collections in the world. And many notable scientists have been and are believers.

Personally, I know of no instance where Torah at least, is not comportable with science.
