I entirely agree, but that is a fault in the individual sicentist rather than in the "scientiific method". That is the fundamental difference between science and religion: science is based on evidence, and will change its views if the evidence contradicts the theory; religion is much less willing (or, alas, sometimes occasionally entirely unwilling) to do so.
