The main difference between theologians and scientists is that scientists change their theories when new facts become available. Theologians have their minds made up and don't want to confused by the facts.

I think you must be confusing theologians with believers (most aren't; it's just their job).

Theologians have their minds made up and don't want to confused (sic) by the facts.

That accusation seems far more appropriate for evolutionists who--by their own admission--need gap species that aren't there. You won't find theologians attaching a human skull to the jaw of a baboon, (or was it the other way around?)

The Bible has been around way longer than Darwin.

The main similarity between some theologians and some scientists is that at some point attachment to old fact becomes belief. These scientists have their minds made up and they become theologians. It is precisely at this point that all are equal part scientist and theologian.

Science is a process, not an identity.

"The main difference between theologians and scientists is that scientists change their theories when new facts become available."

Sort of right. Better: "The main difference between theologians and scientists is one admits they are religious and the other doesn't".

Science is limited in it's truth seeking apparatus, for it chooses to disregard the Supernatural. Because it can't test it, it is forced to disregard it's influence on reality.

Shortsightedness prevails.

This was not at issue with the founders of Modern Science.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

I hardly think one can categorize faith into "facts". Science and faith have very little in common as one does not have any notable effect on the other. A core set of unshakable beliefs does not imply that science is somehow more "justifiable". Pure scientific logic and reasoning reduces faith to mere coincidence, not accounting for the unexplainable. Science itself is Godless. Remember: If one does not believe in a power greater than himself, then he must believe that something was made from absolutely nothing.

Congratulations on uttering THE most achingly ignorant statement I've heard all day.

But then, it's been a quiet day.

Presumably, these 'new facts' replaced the 'old facts'. I just can't figure out why these religious folks don't get it...
