The problem with quotes like this is that they can be used by both theists and atheists to state that the other is lacking.
True, but I've never heard an atheist say that they would refuse to change their mind if new information were available. It's always the theists who claim that their holy book is right because it is unchanging while science is always changing. That should tell you who that quote is really talking about.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
