If your rant (other than the whole Scientism junk) actually represents the full situation, then the theory of evolution will be changed to accomodate the inconsistencies. It will not happen overnight, but it will happen. In fact, this serves to corroborate everything I have said, not disprove it. I said that if scientific theories are proven conclusively to be wrong, science will evolve.

The theories proposed by Newton were changed after people like Einstien came along. There was a lot of resistence, but it did happen. These new theories have been changed some in recent years due to new evidence. The changes met with resistance. I never once said that science changed at the drop of a hat. It takes a lot of conclusive evidence to prove something wrong.

Going back to the religious aspect: religions (primarily in reference to the fundamentals of the religion, mostly as evidenced by the religious scriptures of that religion) do not change like science does to include new evidence. They stay the same, and declare the new evidence to be wrong. Science is not equatable to religion.
