First, there is a significant increase in fact that leads to the opposing conclusions. Second, a lack of ones own faith against the facts lessens allowing beliefs to be altered. The greater misfortune of the two I believe is the lack of faith in ones beliefs, so that it is possible to posses faith against popular fact. In the opposite view of science in today's society, faith has little influence over fact. Also, faith has a small place in science.
Science is based on facts and the conclusions reached there of.
I fail to see an instance where it would be necessary for science to modify its conclusions based primarily on the faith in religious beliefs.
