ooooooooh i love how the people that believe science without question. Like how we were guaranteed the oldest human was 100k years, then going on and going on and now we are up to 2 million.
Oh and raptors, guess what they have feathers, look at jurassic park, hell the lost world it was only recently they realised that they had feathers. Science is a bunch of theories until proven otherwise, and even then its not proven. It is simply a new discovery.
You can not simply criticise religion "theories" if you are trying to use science "theories" in defence.

And that's exactly why science works so well. Science isn't a set series of ideas, that are forever unchanging and never to be questioned. Science will always adapt to the new evidence, and with every generation of scientists that passes the theory will be more correct than it was before.
The argument you use to ridicule science is exactly the same reason why it works so well. All it does it expose a certain mindset you have.
Also, if people "believed" science without question like you claim, then science wouldn't work the way it does. Science is built on scepticism and enquiry.
Italics -
As for your last part, religious theories and scientific theories are two completely separate things.
Scientific theories are explanations of phenomena based on facts and evidence, when new facts come along, the theory changes to fit. They are not the same as religious theories.

Facts used to be whole truths I thought, now they are something that can be simply disproved down the road. Why cant religion be fact then. It hasnt been disproved so it should be fact till it is? Is that not the way of thinking of science?

Religion cannot be treated like science because of the inherently impossible nature of it all. It is philosphy rather and science and entirely urelated. Religion should not have "theories", the word of a diety should very much remain the word of diety and not subject to theorizing and interpretation (which is partly what makes the bible a useless point of reference for mostly anything save for outdated philosophical and moral tidbits).
God and religion was never made (I say made because I truthfully believe that god was made by man and not the other way around) to be tested and falsified, that's part of the genius (so to speak) of it; can't be proved and can't be disproved. "Gods works in mysterious ways" etc.
