Huh? I didn't say anything about religious people being wrong. You wrote that "we" prove science wrong.

I wrote that you have it wrong. Scientists are almost always the ones who prove other scientists wrong.

This exploration and learning and correcting errors is the whole point of science.

So a scientific theory or scientist being proven wrong is the strength of science.

It takes more faith to believe that a "scientist" can determine what happened billions of years ago than any religion that I know of.

Faith in these silly conjectures is just that; silly.

Only one group proves itself wrong

Doctor: Hey, we found a cure for your pancreatic cancer! Turns out we were incorrect about the exact biochemical pathways this whole time. But, thanks to rigorous experimentation and research, we've figured out how to target the cancer cells directly! You can start treatment right away.

MustangEater: No thanks. You were wrong about it before, and you can't prove that it will work. I'll just cure myself with faith. I'm religous you know.

Doctor: Um, ok. Also, here's some antibiotic for your daughter. I'm sorry she has strep throat, which is caused by bacteria.

MustangEater: Oh, no thanks. I don't believe that diseases like strep throat are caused by bacteria. See, the Germ theory of disease is JUST A THEORY. I think she's sick because she hasn't been praying hard enough. We'll just strengthen her faith and her sore throat will go away.

Can't believe that people think not changing your views in 2000 years is virtue.

I know. They want absolute knowledge exhibited.

They want infallibility, there is no way for us to understand the world, the universe without being wrong and correcting ourselves.

Normally this is called progress and learning.

Try this for getting a hint of our insignificance:
