With new information science can change to explain it.

Religions currently respect evolution's many paths as consistent with God's (the infinite God of the eternal now, outside time and space) ongoing creation.

When people don't know the history of religion (or philosophy of religion, as taught in most universities, originally founded by the Catholic church), they judge initial mistakes of religious leaders as the "fatal" flaw of religion at large. That's mere simplistic human ignorance.

The religious who take time to know ancient writings and the expansion of knowledge during and since the Roman empire, also know a few of these things:

Specific scientific fields
Physics:

Galileo Galilei, a devout Catholic until his death, was the father of observational astronomy, modern-era classical physics, the scientific method and modern science.

Josip Rudjer Boscovich, and Marin Mersenne (for acoustics) made foundational contributions.

Nicolaus Copernicus, a devout Catholic until death, proposed the heliocentric model, while

Georges Lemaître, a Catholic priest, first proposed the Big Bang theory; Pope Pius XII later appointed him president of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

Gregor Mendel, a Catholic monk, who laid the foundation of modern genetics; he's known as the father of genetics.

Louis Pasteur, devout Catholic who said that "Science brings man nearer to God"
was the major founder of bacteriology; he was a French chemist, pharmacist, and microbiologist renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation, and pasteurization, among other scientific firsts

Jesus is quoted in Matthew 16:13-21

The Catholic Church, Jesus's 2,000 year old church, renamed Jesus Church as the universal church at the Council of Trent (catholic means "universal" in greek) just after the great schism was caused by the fallen priest, Martin Luther, who left to found his own version of christianity because of what he considered the sins of church leaders. Luther thought he -- 1,500 years after Jesus and his Apostles spread Jesus's church, and who became bishops of that church by 44 AD -- knew better than the 12 Apostles who actually lived with, heard, and recorded what Jesus actually said and taught them. Jesus repeats his Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20, when he tells his Apostles to spread The Word. The disciples became Jesus's Apostles 50 days later, when the Holy Spirit descended upon them at Pentacost in the Upper Room. Acts 2 (or Luke-Acts, as it's often called.).

Then read Luke 10:1-23, to see what Jesus says about those who no longer follow the apostles teachings about Jesus (in the four gospels and the letters of Peter, James, John and Revelation).

Martin Luther threw out 6 books of the Hebrew Bible that Jesus considered scripture, which Jesus already knew inside and out. Luther also wanted to throw out the Epistle of James (who claimed that faith without works is dead, as did Paul in his letters) and Revelation, which Luther said "ought to at least reveal something."

Remember what Jesus said about his Apostles in Luke 10:16 --
"He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”

Catholic Church: 33: Jesus Christ

Catholicism certainly wasn't the first religion.

Still has billions of followers today.

a wide range of beliefs, including monotheistic, polytheistic, pantheistic, and atheistic views.

Hinduism also has a vast pantheon of deities often considered manifestations of a single supreme being called Brahman.

Hinduism has no single, universally agreed-upon holy book. Instead, followers refer to various sacred texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, and the Ramayana, three of which I had students read excerpts from in my World Lit. classes back in the day.

5 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

You either believe that Jesus established his church with Simon Peter or you don't.

Jesus's church is called the first of monotheistic, rational religions. As John Fugelsang, the Catholic, says...

" Jesus was:

A peaceful, radically nonviolent revolutionary
Who wasn't American and never spoke English
Who hung around lepers, hookers, and crooks
Never sought tax cuts for rich Nazarenes
Was anti-wealth and anti-death penalty
Anti-public prayer, too (Matthew 6:5)
Never asked lepers for a co-pay
Never called poor people "lazy"
Never even slightly antigay
Never mentioned abortion
Supported paying taxes
And was a long-haired
Community-organizing
Authority-questioning
Anti-slut-shaming
Brown skinned
Palestinian
Unarmed
Homeless
Jew

... but only if you believe what's actually in the Bible."

countless religions around before then.

Mankind will never exactly know a lot of aspects about evolution, that said, I do find it quite interesting reading.

Nevertheless, if I'm reading it correctly, it still confirms that life somewhat started from the waters.

They will be entertaining and enlightening me for a good while. Your generosity is one of the reasons I love DU.

That text books written 100 years ago can be expected to contain 'wrong information' today?

After all, with the many scientists working day in and day out, every day since that book was published, we would expect new facts to arise that overturn the beliefs of a century ago

So, no ... Nobody was 'lying to you' ... A scientist draws a line in the sand when they commit scientific beliefs to paper, which stands on the knowledge base of that day ... Further scientific investigations may or may not change facts in that knowledge base: That's how science works, and: It's nobody's fault

So, I question why scientists wouldn't have self respect ... Why wouldn't they respect themselves?

What did they do wrong?
