Scientific inquiry focuses on discovering evidence that supports the truth of theories rather than seeking absolute proof. There exists a vast body of evidence for established theories like quantum mechanics and general relativity, showcasing their predictive power and reliability. Unlike religious belief systems that may resist change, science values new evidence and is willing to adjust its understanding as needed. This adaptability is illustrated by the contrasting responses to challenging established figures in each domain, where scientific critique can lead to recognition and accolades, while challenging religious doctrine can result in ostracism.
