He has a point though. Science is about constantly re-examining conclusions and "laws" and addapting to new knowledge, true.
But some retards, militant atheists being the most common, approach it as an extremely rigid form of faith too. We have found nothing in our quest for knowledge that truly discredits the idea of a "god" like being, any more than we have found proof for one. It is, at least so far, an unanswerable question (where ma agnostics at).
Atheists using science as a cudgel against religion is just ironic. Quite a good number will say religion is the greatest evil in the world. Which of course completely misses the point. Religion itself isn't "evil", whatever the fuck that means. It's just a tool for manipulation. It's a tribal identity, something common to all peoples everywhere throughout all ages. May as well say family is the source of all evil, or nationality, or languages, or any form of extended tribal identity, anything that separates one group of humans from another and can be used as a puppet string. "They are DIFFERENT, so you must kill them, steal their cattle, drive them away, etc"..True source of evil is just people, greedy, selfish people with a lust for power.
Which doesn't change the fact that a lot of what people believe as far as religion goes is totally fucking stupid.
