Science by it's own definition is always skeptical and that is why when one puts forth a hypothesis on anything it is checked and rechecked and rechecked again and everything possible to disprove it is tried. That's science..Belief, on the other hand is just taken on faith. It is never put forth for scientific review because there is no science there. It is disturbing to me that so many educators have never learned basic science principles. It is no wonder America is such a country of ignorance and deceit.
