See if you can spot the pattern SteveII.
"What specifically do you think that Islam has walked back due to a new discovery?"
"What specifically do you think that Hebrew has walked back due to a new discovery?"
"What specifically do you think Buddhism has walked back due to a new discovery?"
"What specifically do you think Scientology has walked back do to a new discovery?"
"What specifically do you think Hinduism has walked back do to a new discovery?"....
Every religion has members whom, when they cant make a positive argument for their position, either try to attack science, and when they cant do that, they try to co opt science after the fact to point to their club.[1]
Our species is much older than any written religion. Our planet is 4 billion years old. Our universe is 13.8 billion years old with 100s of billions of galaxies in it. Humans are not important to this planet or the universe. Our clubs and superstitions and religions we make up, are just that, made up, mere placebos humans create as false perceptions and gap answers because of our own narcissism and fear of being finite.

There are no such things as super natural beings with super powers. The only place your god exists is in your head, just as made up as Apollo and Thor. The only difference between calling something a religion and calling it mythology, is that one is dead and the other is currently still popular. [3]
I am not interested in arguing about other religions. I asked specifically about Christianity.
1. If you are talking about Christianity, you are painting with too broad a brush to make a point. Christianity does not attack science. Science has nothing to say about whether Christianity is true or not. If you think it does, you are wrong somewhere in your understand or logic.
2. Untestable, unfalsifiable theories.
3. You couldn't possibly know that and your opinion doesn't much matter to me.
