As has been pointed out many times, that's the difference between science and religion. From day, scientists are trained to understand their beliefs and understandings must be based on the evidence before them, and that if the evidence no longer supports the belief, a new belief must be adopted. Religion is based on the idea that the belief is right, and everything else must adopt to it, regardless of the evidence.
