yes it does in fact. if i have made a conclusion that is a logical progression from an observation i have made, then i will believe in it wholeheartedly. however, if i keep an open mind and make a new observation that contradicts that conclusion, i will try to adjust my beliefs accordingly. basing my beliefs on reason and logic means that i can change my mind about things. for christians (not all, but i'm making a generalization for convenience), any new discoveries or theories (i.e. those made by galileo or darwin) have no effect on beliefs because their beliefs have been predetermined by doctrine.
