I'm not sure which quote you're saying I changed - I have not edited any of the posts in this thread. Calling scientists fundamentalists is quite annoying. Science is far from dogmatic. If something comes up that changes a scientific theory, and it is proven, well guess what, science changes to fit it. Science is falsifiable, faith is not.
Take evolution: as Richard Dawkins explains in his wonderful book "The Greatest Show on Earth," if we were to find a evidence of a rabbit in the Precambrian era, it would ruin the entire theory of evolution since rabbits could not have existed then in their present form.
The flip side is creationism where the answer becomes "God did it" for anything that can't be explained.
Obviously, you will not come around to my way of thinking because you think it's foolish and closed minded. I am totally fine with that. As long as you are happy in life, there's nothing wrong with a little faith in the unknown.
