Evolutionary superiority

Not that I'm going to name any of those people.....

Well, that, and because all the evidence that the same science that routinely cures leukemia and brings us TIVO can muster shows that to be the case. I'm feeling pretty humbled by all that science - my contributions to knowledge are just about reducing sludging in crude oils and an easier-to-handle clay stabilizer for "oil-bearing subterranean earthern formations."

Not really. A nice amateur telescope set-up, these days, is enough to show that the universe is expanding. The various surveys that are measuring the microwave universe really do measure something from way out there - repeatably. The theoretical-sounding calculations of how much hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium came from The Bang are supported very well indeed by observation in the lab and in space both. The "material kind of science" that clocks speeding cars and lets us generate electricity from uranium fissioning....
