Reply to comment by EndoExo in TIL a German scientist named Alfred Wegener was ridiculed in 1912 for advancing the idea that the continents were adrift. Ridiculed as having “wandering pole plague.” or “Germanic pseudo-science” and accused Wegener of toying with the evidence to spin himself into “a state of auto-intoxication." by Hot----------Dog

Science generally has the ability to accept indisputable evidence and realize that "Holy shit, they really were right and we were wrong." Where religions in general have proven incapable of doing so over and over throughout history.
