Because it's more than likely that the science that's accepted as *right* today is going to be wrong tomorrow, or next week, or next year......
Science isn't about truth, it can't be proved. Science changes as new data comes in. That means that what was accepted one day can be suddenly wrong the next.
So why,when there's dispute between science and religion, is it ALWAYS assumed that science is right by default? And religion is always wrong by default?
I don't suppose that it occurred to you that it could be the SCIENCE that's wrong?
Has your religion been consistent for the past 300+ years?
Woo Wee thats gotta hurt..
