I think you mean it's not perfect and makes mistakes, but it does tend to learn from them as it goes along and not do it twice
I don't think anyone with a more scientific mind will ever watch their dad die of something and decide it's a good family tradition to continue with and risk death to prove their faith in it...
And then die. And then someone else will run with it.

I saw my dad die, and slowly and painfully. The things science advocated at that time are almost directly opposite what they suggest now.
I think it the height of arrogance to suggest that religion is wrong because among the thousands of beliefs there may be an incorrect one, while then stating that science, whatever it is at the moment is infallible.
Unfortunately people can skew data to fit their beliefs in both camps.

I've got lagers!
And a dodgy pink 'wine' Lidls sells for 2 quid a pop and looks and tastes like dentist's mouth wash. 7% alcohol. I'm expecting to see some come out of Alan Carrs globe next week...

science doesn't state that it is at any moment infallible
just that at any given time the scientific consensus is the best we can have to be going on with. if you think otherwise you have failed to understand the scientific method. i think you maybe know this so you're going for straw men cos they're easier to flame. religion is wrong because it urges the consensus reality to mold around it rathewr than the opposite. whatever religious tradition would have suggested to treat your dad was wrong then and wrong now. at least science inherently acknowledges that it is only as right as we know for now and is infinitely open to revision. religion claims to be eternal truth despite changing to fit with the prevailing philisophical orthadoxy.
my gran died and after she was just dead not ever living just dead but people said she lives forever and i saw them feel better.
SO IT MUST BE TRUE EH?
