"Every year or two they change their theories to something new, so they don't have to admit that they were dead wrong to begin with."
I believe that by changing the theory they *are* admiting they were wrong. That's the diferrence between science and mythology. Science asks a question and picks the answer with the most evidence supporting it. If the evidence changes, so do the theories.
Mythology starts with an answer, and then tries to restate the question until it fits.
How long did it take to get Galileo off the banned book index? Eppur si mouve....

Mythology starts with an answer, and then tries to restate the question until it fits. From the article: "I knew I would one day find it... I've been looking for 25 years," said Michel Brunet of the University of Poitiers, France.
OK then, I'll file this under 'Mythology'...
