science that changes twice a decade over a belief that remained same for thousands of years, i.e., belief in GOD.

Belief in God always remained the same, its just the way we express our faith that has changed. No matter what religion you follow, you believe in God unless you're an athiest.

Science is a process, the scientific method is a reliable one but it requires that the experimenter rejects all personal bias (including any religious or atheist bias that he or she may have) in order to engage in a continual search for the truth of how the world works.
Science and religion are not at odds - they both seek the same goal: the knowledge of truth. You can believe in God and still be a scientist - belief in God does not require you to check your brain at the door. Contrary to what some arrogant Atheists may think, many great scientists have been men and women of faith!

the belief in god has not remained the same for thousands of years. In fact, it has evolved much like science. Beliefs go in and out of fashion in both.
But why do the two have to be incompatible?

Why is something good because it's unchanging? After all, you change your underwear from time to time, don't you? I would hope so! Everything changes, and religion should too. So-called 'modern' religion is little more than the fantasies and ravings of bronze age shepherds. It is no longer the bronze age, if you hadn't noticed. Science changes only when new and better EVIDENCE compels it, and that is a good thing, not a bad one.

Easy: I educate myself in theistic beliefs, I read up on how every war has had religious-based beginnings, and I make a judgment on my own beliefs as to how I want to live my own life. Simple enough.
Edit: The reason science changes is because of technological advances which allow further research and discoveries. FYI.

Just because some people refuse to change their belief system doesn't make it correct. There is a small group of people that still believe in a flat Earth, so...

I can see how it's easier to believe something that they can see and "prove" rather then something you follow in "blind faith". I am a Christian and I've seen too many miracles to not believe in God, but I definately see their point, even if it's flawed, what religion doesn't have flaws, we're all human.

By making the same choice as to whether or not post a real question to the R/S of Yahoo Answers. Guess you flunked that question too.

How could you choose god, who hasn't been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, over science that has been proven?

In other words, how can you choose something which is revised when new information is discovered over something that perpetuates primitive superstitions?
No contest.
