Christianity is based on faith, not proof. Science is based on evidence, not faith.

Curious then, that Chritianity (religion) doesn't change much over time, but what was scientific fact 150 years ago is almost completely discredited now.

Yes but then again, there are religious dogmas that have evolved over time as well. Science produces cures for diseases, advances in technology (like what we are communuicating over right now), transporation, energy, etc.

There’s room for both.

For that matter 150 DAYS ago...after all Pluto was a planet, now i’s not but only to SOME astronomers.

Can’t wait to see what the “science” is on the drugs we’re led to believe are “good” (or bad) for us next week!

I disagree with your premise. Dogma has changed for many Christan sects in the last 150 years. Even the Catholic Church has changed some dogma.

FWIW maybe that is the problem science changes and adapts new interpretations. Religion, as more information becomes available, does not - causing people to look at it with a skeptical eye.
