It's the correct solution.  It's also a solution to many problems in 
science:  Try an entirely different way.  We had to reject phlogiston 
theory, not improve it.  Same for Lamarckian theory.  There are many 
examples.

With religion, the religious person usually closes his mind to other 
possibilities.  He stays within his framework and refuses to "think 
outside the box," as they say.
