Foolish consistency

A reader of Andrew Sullivan criticizes Sam Harris:

...This is where Sam and I part company. He offers no alternative to our human need to believe in a power outside of ourselves that is greater and more permanent than ourselves. Worshiping some branch of ever-changing science, as Harris seems to suggest, cannot fill that need...
Ah, so that's the problem with science. It's ever-changing! How are you supposed to keep up with all those new discoveries? Obviously religion is objectively better because it never changes: Jesus was God, Noah built an ark, and homosexuals are bad.

Really, who the fuck comes up with this shit?
