You could rephrase that as "if you say that you don't care what the explanation is, so long as it's the one most backed-up by the facts -- and if you're prepared to drop that explanation the moment a better one comes along and admit that you were wrong up until that point -- you are a fundamentalist".

Of course, then it sounds stupid.
