It may have to do with people's views on science and religion in general. For most people, science is the systematic pursuit of knowledge based on repeatable, observable experiments. Scientific "truths" are never set in stone, as they are free to be modified with the discovery of new evidence. Religion, although it is also a pursuit of knowledge, does not have this flexibility and cannot be changed to fit new evidence.
Any such religion that is as open to constructive change as science is would be a poor one indeed, or at least an unrecognizable one.
