Science doesn't work like religion. Scientists don't have one Science Bible written thousands of years ago that they continually refer to, nor do they base their theories on myths that have been passed down and elaborated over generations. Scientific knowledge is constantly evolving as theories are tested and evidence is accumulated. When certain theories fail to explain a phenomenon, they are modified or discarded. And no scientist just believes in evolution because they have faith in it. They can look at the objective evidence themselves. And so can we. Not so for religious 'theories.'

I'm curious... would you say the same of the Pope, if he was involved? Or is he 'infallible' and blameless, no matter what?
