Scientific methodologies may fail disastrously, and frequently have. Religion has failed completely to give an accurate picture of the natural world. The reason science is the right course and religion is the wrong course is because scientists can admit that an approach has failed and will attempt others. The religious cannot accept the idea that their scripture got something wrong and will ignore reality.
You are right up to a point, that point is when the evidence is so overwhelmingly in favour of the scientific view point that it can't possibly be ignored. At which point religions go, "well that's what we meant all the time...."
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
