Science is always changing but the Bible stays the same.
This is something i often hear about science when it contradicts a specific interpretation of the Bible and is deployed as a criticism as if it is a weakness rather than a strength.
Can someone who feels this way explain to me why it is a BAD thing to change one's position on the basis of new evidence and a GOOD thing to hold to a position despite contradictory evidence?

Science is always IMPROVING but the Bible stays the same.
Bible critics say that the Bible always stays the same at the same time they say it's been edited and corrupted so no one knows the original. That's the illogical workings of an ideologue.
@ElwoodBlues Your phrasing was fine, my comment was directed at ideological Bible critics. It's sort of silly. The writings of Josephus, Livy, Shakespeare, Frank Herbert, Douglas Adams even Charles Darwin don't change. The written word doesn't change. Why would you expect the Bible to change? The problem they have isn't with God or the Bible, their problem is a sociopolitical frustration with the theocratic majority and tradition.
I mean, it's been a hundred years and they don't have the sense or the honesty to see that?
