Attack of the Theocrats!

Please do not fall into the trap that religious claims = claims that get a free pass from examination. The major religions make very specific claims about reality, and are not averse to using scientific evidence when they think it is in their favor. It is only when evidence goes against those claims that the tired arguments about religion being completely separate from evidence, reason, and critical analysis get wheeled out.
How can a comeback be acceptable if it comes from a closed system that admits no contradicting evidence?
What is science still learning that religion already knew? Do tell.
