No I just don’t believe that all scientific conclusions are correct and science has been wrong in the past. If you want to believe that all life is just a random series of lucky events that happened in the universe go ahead. That would be a belief.

Now if you want to talk about evolution that is a different story. There is plenty of evidence that life does “evolve” but to take that nugget of information and stretch it to explain everything about how life began that is where science becomes a religion.

So what scientific principles do you believe? I mean, I believe in gravity. I have seen that if I drop a ball out my window it falls. If I throw my TV out the window it falls. I feel pretty confident that if I toss my cat out the window, she’ll fall too… Is that religion because I extrapolated from one set of evidence to predict another?
