A long long time ago, people had FAITH in a Sun god. Or Tree god. Or a coyote shape shifter god.
And a long long time ago, the best scientific minds KNEW the earth was flat. And it was the center of the universe.
Good luck with this debate. Again.
To your first point, religion is (on some level) pure kookery. Was then, is now, will be forever.
To your second point, the beauty of science is that it... uh... evolves. It's NOT dogma; it self-corrects.
To your third point, yes, this is a pointless debate.
The problem occurs when people who call themselves scientists make their "science" dogma. We've seen it happen with both evolution and "climate change." Both of those areas of study have had a lot more out-and-out fraud than any other fields of "scientific" study, with the possible exception of alchemy.
