    I’ve never had sympathy for this line of thinking. Is the average person truly too ignorant to understand that science is a constantly developing process of better understanding our universe, not some set of unimpeachable rules carved into stone tablets once and forever?

    YES because often times the opposing model is the Bible, which is updated very irregularly and people will form sects over a single differing interpretation of a single passage.

    Changing your mind / learning new information can be construed as the super-hated “flip-flop”.

    Unfortunately, the illogical are immune to logic. No amount of it will be effective.
