I think about it constantly. Pondering how the universe works gives you both a strategic and tactical advantage over those who don't. Even going ahead with a theory (one that is open to revision based upon new information, context and circumstance) is better than having a rigid plan plan based upon fixed and static theories. This is a paraphrase of Sun Tsu's Art of War.

Depends what you mean by "believe" I "believe" it in the same way I "believe" the theory of evolution I accept it as a theory but it doesn't have to be right and if it changed tomorrow, because new data came to light, I would be fine with that and in fact, I am looking for that new data all the time I do not think the same can be said of the religious they are not looking for data to disprove their model that is the major difference, imo I understand it would be emotionally satisfying for you to think that scientists "believe" in the same was as the religious, but I don't think that is true. It certainly isn't true in my case.
