the difference, however, is that the "core institution" for science has never claimed to be infallible. egos aside, it is ok for science to be wrong. religion on the other hand doesn't have this luxury, the way most of them are currently set up.

so i understand why there is a double standard. if you're claiming to be 100% right you better be...otherwise you lose credibility once proven wrong.
