1. Christianity's belief systems and how they interpret the bible.

2. Scientific belief systems and how they interpret their data.

Not asking for you to provide proof, just interested in your opinion - perception, after all, is everything. Thanks.

Science. It is always changing, advancing, evolving and moving forward.

If Christianity changes, it is only because science forces it to. From Galileo, to Da Vinci, to Franklin, to Magellan, to Newton, to Darwin; Christianity fought viciously for each and every delusion. It is only because of science that churches have lightning rods, that men walked on the moon.

Not really sure what has changed more, although science has found many new facts over the years and many new methods of discovering facts, the methods of interpreting the data has not changed much, or it would not be science. Also science does not have a belief system, only what is fact, fiction, and theory.

Christianity on the other hand has changed so much that there are nearly uncountable denominations that argue with one another over who is in fact the correct religion.

My vote would be on Christianity.

Especially durning the time of Constantine christianity adopted into its' belief system a great many nonchristian (pagan) teachings and customs. It was virtually unrecognizable to the origional teachings of Jesus and his apostles. Since Constantines time however, the teachings have remained somewhat static. There are a great many christian denominations but the basic belief structure are very similar, save a few christian religions.
Science' main tenet is to evaluate, theorize, test, and prove. This has remained its' objective since its advent. I would argue that some within the scientific community have lost their objectiveness and are dogmatic in their scientific "beliefs". These ones have, in a sense, created a religion of their own within the scientific parameters.
However, science, in it's purest form, has not changed it's purpose.

Neither. The Christians have continued to wake up each day, consider their own personal prejudices, and go out into the world proclaiming those as being the word of God regardless of what the Bible says.

The scientists have continued to wake up each day, look at how well the evidence of the world around them fits their theories, and extrapolated from that to form their arguments and revise their theories.

The science has developed and become more complex and better examined; some of the prejudices have shifted a little; but no real change in either in terms of the question.

Christians! They've changed heaps whereas the scientific method has been the same since the field of science first took off. There's not much reason to improve it because it works perfectly.

The scinetific method is the scientific method?
The Bible is a teaching tool, it was not until Luther that the protestants have tried to make it something in and of itself?
I guess I don't understand the question?
