Then in 1929, the American astronomer Edwin Hubble found hard evidence that the universe was expanding. Einstein changed his mind, calling his previous insistence on a static universe the "greatest blunder" of his career.

I love science! This is why: It increases our knowledge of nature. The most current information is the best. Knowledge builds upon past knowledge. There is no need to deify older scientists. There were Atomists among the ancient Greek philosophers. They were right, in a way. They were wrong in other ways. No spooky god thing needed.
