People may be resistant to change but to call science dogmatic is a bit of a stretch. When the science is clear then of course scientists will defend it, but begrudgingly science will change its mind if another theory supplants the current favourite. Science at least has tools for distinguishing such theories whereas religion largely doesn't and it makes tremendous claims with ZERO EVIDENCE. Thats the difference.
I have no problem with passionate nearly dogmatic defense of a claim if its actually supported by anything. But Religion doesn't deserve such dogmatism. Especially considering religion is being proven wrong left right and centre by science.
Now I don't like bringing arguments about science into atheism debates because they aren't the same thing. Atheism is simply the claim that no convincing evidence exists to show that God exists. That doesn't necessarily mean someone is obsessed with this scientific world as atheism is simply the dismissal of the theistic claim.
