I can see why you would say that. Science, built upon evidence, is always
shifting and changing (like sand, I suppose). Religion does evolve but most
people think it's not supposed to. That's the difference between science and
religion. As new evidence is discovered science must change. Religion must
ignore any new evidence and remain static--as static as a rock. Though rocks
do weather way.
A bit of a testimonial for you to consider :-)
