The peer-reviewed scripture of science is full of bad science. We don’t condemn science for that if it’s not what we’re teaching in science now. Why would we condemn religion or any other discipline if its historical writings aren’t perfect? Unless we’re fundamentalist, and we believe that absolute literal authority resides in those writings. Personally, I don’t think that’s rational.

Science doesn’t have “scripture” and if you think it does, you don’t understand the meaning of one or the other of those words.

Science does have currently accepted theory but any scientist will tell you they are subject to change. Scripture is presumed not to change (it does, but many followers of it refuse to concede that point), it’s just that people decide to ignore whatever parts they wish weren’t in it.
