It's not that a person of faith in a religion or a god looks at truth and says, 'That isn't true.' It's that they view Scripture as ultimate truth, and a current scientific understanding of things is immaterial to that truth. After all, it was science that at one point said the earth was flat. We are constantly gaining a greater understanding of our surroundings; that is a process that has been taking place for thousands of years and will continue to for thousands more. Our current understanding is not an endpoint, it is but one mark on the timeline.
Very well said.
