I don't understand what this has to do with religion vs. science....
What it does is weaken the argument that when scientists speaketh, it is only truth, facts, that passeth their lips.
There are scientists who lie for money and career, some who will construct bizarre scenarios in the name of science, some who toil lifelong in attempts to benefit humanity.
Some, all three, as in a Venn Diagram.
Wow. There are dishonest people in this world who subvert ethics for material gain. This is an age old human phenomenon and has been witnessed in every field, career, occupation, yet for some reason, Scientists are held to a gold standard, and if they fall at all, then it discredits the whole field. This is typical christian conservatism.
Peer review will always root out misinformation. You can't discredit science. It is the only link we have to the natural world. Religion explains nothing empirically.
