What you're saying is that the same 'blind belief' attitude is present 
amongst all categories of people, regardless of whether what they 
believe is religion or science.  From what I understand, the very point 
of science is its mutability; when new, contradicting evidence is 
discovered, old theories are modified or discarded.  And while some 
people think that Science, like Religion, is set in stone and there 
haven't been paradigm shifts since [insert famous name here, be it 
Einstein, Hawking, Pasteur, Watson/Crick, Galileo, etc], each field is 
constantly undergoing change based on new evidence; if you don't 
actively follow that field, however, you're left thinking it static.
