And you make adjustments to your beliefs (scientific or otherwise) accordingly, correct?

Philosophical belief and scientific theories experience constant testing. Changes occur in philosophy when a more logical deduction is presented. Changes occur in science when new evidence is discovered or there is a more logical explanation for the empirical evidence that exists. However, in the event of opinion or a less logical deduction would not be a valid test and changes should not occur. Consider that if empirical evidence existed or was discovered proving the existence of God most philosophy would be rendered mute and Gods existence would be a theory of science.
