Frauds and outright wrong theories come into existence from time-to-time. However, the constant peer review process causes those frauds to be discovered or the wrong theory to be debunked. For instance, Nebraska Man. The fact that they *do* discover wrong information that creeps into science is an indication that the process works, not that it doesn't work.
Religion, OTOH, starts with the truth, and as more things are found and learned, those must be ignored, models must be created to incorporate the tenets of the faith, and no part of the religion must ever be scrapped, or viewed as wrong.
A major problem with religionists and especially creationists is not so much that they reject science or it's theories. They cast aspersions on the
scientific method. They teach "knowledge" they have which did not use this method on par with scientific knowledge, or above it. Science education is what suffers as a result, and our next generations do not have the best basis from which they can continue scientific advancement.
