See my post #135.

It just seems to me that scientists who believe in the theory of evolution simply change the story when new findings disprove what they have previously believed.

Thats what science does. You try to come up with the best explanation you can with the evidence you have. If the evidence changes, you change your explanation so that the new data fits. Thats why It's so funny when creationists say that science ignores "facts". Science is all about "accepting new data".

As opposed to creationists who start "knowing the truth" and try to find evidence to back it up.
