The difference being that scientists allow science to correct itself, while fundamentalists refuse to consider that their understanding of their deities might ever grow or change.

Scientists aren't the problem with science - half-educated people are... Idiots like SeanL stating that a few studies conducted in a lab equate to "scientific fact" are no different than fundamentalist Christians citing cryptic rabbinic passages in the Old Testament as a reason to treat gay people with intolerance, when it completely contradicts Christ's message of tolerance. Neither one of them has any idea of what they're talking about, yet they're determined to wield their ignorance as a political tool.
