Good post, but I disagree. Certainly, they have faith (or confidence if that word offends some people) in the scientific process for sure, but that faith leads them to have faith in popular "conclusions".
Without getting too philosophical, the scientific method certainly works well enough for sure, but its almost like people think science in some areas is finished. Announce that you don't believe in the Big Bang, for example. You will be considered a mouth-breathing retard incapable of walking and chewing gum by most people here. These people believe themselves to be superior for subscribing the Big Bang theory, because they perceive it as popular with scientists. Now, I believe the scientific method will continue to undermine the Big Bang until future generations consider us silly for ever believing it, but this belief is considered heretical to many on here because it goes against the "orthodoxy", even though my belief is itself, founded in science. They aren't critical of what they believe. They just want something to believe that lets them feel superior to others who don't believe it.
if you are trying to descredit the big bang so you can validate big daddy on the sky coming out of the blue adam eve talking snake noa bla bla bla vs the big bang... yeah people is going to laugh at you.
