"Your reply demonstrates a deep misunderstanding of what science is, and what scientists do." Quite the contrary. I myself am an engineer and spent several years working in research at a major university. I was merely pointing out what you asked for....a reason for the mistrust. Surely it is not the only reason but it is, nonetheless, valid.

Nothing extreme about it at all. As hard as it is for you to understand why they believe in something that can not be observed, it is just as hard for them to understand why you can not. The intolerance shown between religious groups and the scientific community goes both ways and is, in my opinion, asinine.

Science: The New Religion All hail science! To believe in anything else is ignorance and idiocy! You don't accept the "truths" proclaimed by our scientists? HERESY! You shall be "re-educated" and be shown the error of your ways! Every so often a new religion comes along that proclaims itslef to be the only followers to know the truth. Science is just the latest. Heck, they can't even prove their own theories unless they make up something they call "dark matter", which only exits in their minds and is only supported by faulty mathematical and physical concepts. (Kinda like any other religions gods). Science believers are such hypocrits!
