There is a fundamental flaw of most religions that once you believe in ... Consequently your own beliefs scare you into acting like your doubts do not exist. .. This is the exact opposite of science, which actively encourages its believers to try to test its "facts".

Paluka, do you believe the standard model of physics?
"The standard model of subatomic physics builds up everything out of a few basic elementary particles: the electron, the muon, and the tau; the electron-neutrino, the muon-neutrino, and the tau-neutrino; the up and down quarks; the charm and strange quarks; the top and bottom quarks; all the antiparticles of these; the gluon bosons; the weak-electromagnetic bosons W, Z, and the photon; and the Higgs boson.
So far we have found, in our particle accelerators, direct evidence of the existence of everything but the Higgs boson."
Do you believe in the Higgs boson? If so, why? There's no evidence of it that anyone's ever found.
If not, what do you replace for the standard model of physics in your belief system of how things work? Doesn't there have to be a system/model that is reproducible and testable a la the scientific method? How long should we accept the non-existence of the Higgs boson from physicists? 10 years? 1000 years? More?
If you're not sure either way, aren't you the same as any religious believer who can't prove anything but decides to have faith in whatever belief system they choose?
