>A scientist observes phenomena, But often chooses to ignore phenomena which don't fit their perceptions.< I must object. Scientists come in all flavors, but the trend is toward honesty. They may be a little slow to come around to a controversial theory that cannot be dismissed - but if the theory holds water they will come around in a generation or two. The singularly fascinating component of the scientific method is that nothing is fixed in stone. Even the vaunted theory of evolution would be subject to revision if truly inconvenient and verifiable facts came to light. The consensus on evolution is So far, So good. Thus I "believe in" evolution as long as it remains consistent with the source material - primary observables like hands-on fossils ot animal populations or DNA. Any scientist who selectively ignores inconvenient facts in order to hang onto a pet theory will see that theory dismissed within one generation of his demise. Do you have refuting examples? If so - I'd be fascinated and I'd be willing to amend or modify my opinion.
