Anybody who says that is either a liar or an idiot. It is no more a
religon than not watching baseball, is a sport.

Well, speaking for myself, I agree with that stuff because it's from the
same people that gave me microwave ovens, television, and the internet. If
all that crap was wrong, then those items wouldn't work.
But they do.
So I base my trust on tangible results.

Personally I don't have to accept these particular theories nor do I
have to reject them. They are interesting and may well, and probably
do, underlie reality. If the Big Bang is shown to be wrong by some data
as yet unknown I haven't wasted my life going to the wrong building on
a Sunday, I won't have to change my 'world view', it will just be some
different interesting stuff.
