Every time you find a new piece of evidence, you modify your theory to fit the evidence.
If this was how the rest of science worked, we'd have things like cars, planes, computers, vaccines, and Playstation 3 by now. Science would be able to adapt to new pieces of information to form a more complete picture. That's blasphemy.
However, science should not work like this. If science worked the way religion does, it would dogmatically adhere to beliefs regardless of the evidence. That way, we'd never make any progress.
Oooh, you athilutionists make me so mad with your rational thinking and adjusting your beliefs to adapt to new information. Why can't you just be dogmatic and closed-minded like the rest of us?
