>Yeah - no sense in challenging your beliefs. After all, someone once said, "C'mon, Terry, you know why. Fanatics are the same everywhere. These people Truly Believe - to admit that they are wrong would be akin to admitting that they are potentially wrong about a lot of aspects of their life. That's a bitter pill even for reasonable people to swallow."

In science there are no beliefs. There are postulates and hypotheses. There are theorems and proofs. There are theories with repeatable, testable hypotheses, falsifiability and predictions of events that come true and follow the theory.

When another hypothesis comes out that better explains/predicts the outcome of events, then the old ones are discarded like yesterday's laundry. The quest for knowledge and exploration never ends.

A belief is written in stone and nothing will change it. Revelation is not science. It is hearsay (from the verb "to reveal").
