What I was trying to say is why is it ok to belittle, demean or otherwise make fun of a person's beliefs? Why is Christianity such a source of amusement?
As for scientific theories, are you sure you won't care if science is over turned? Isn't what this is all about? Fighting to keep one's belief in science over the Word of God? |
No.
One does not "believe" in science. Belief is not necessary.
And there is no emotional investment in the sense you are claiming. If all of science was overturned tomorrow I'd be just as happy as if it weren't. If god exists I'm perfectly happy, just as happy as if he/she/it/they doesn't. It makes no difference WHAT is real. The only thing that's important is how we claim to know what is real. Look at the sig, it might explain it a little better.
So feel free to take a crack at any aspect of science you like. Just make sure you do it well and with evidence. Nullius in verbia.

ETA: Try to understand that science is provisional,not absolute.
