You think evolution is so true right now, yet in 100 years the view of evolution will be very different. So in reality you will have been wrong all along, no matter how you look at it.
Absolutely. It's the nature of science. I think Asimov said it best:
quote:
"Of course science is wrong! It was rather wrong yesterday, and it is, admittedly, somewhat wrong today, and it will be ever-so-slightly wrong tomorrow! But it is continually becoming less wrong, and it is demonstrably closer to the truth about nature than any other form of knowledge. Now, kindly tell us, where is your religion wrong?" (attributed to The Relativity of Wrong: Essays on Science)
The changing nature of science doesn't provide any "absolute truth". Science seeks to asymptotically approach truth. Religion, OTOH, claims it alread HAS The Truth(tm). Even if it's wrong, it's always right. Which is the better path to knowledge?
