I have not heard the 'true' tenets of science. If you are so demanding of science, why are you not so demanding of creationism?

As far as I know, deriving conclusions based on evidence and fundamental principles is hardy blind faith. Perhaps you could give us a definition of blind faith and we could evaluate what you are saying.

2. Actually, I am quite demanding when it comes to creationism. In fact, I must hold the idea of "Creation by Intelligent Design" to an even higher standard than the TOE because with the acceptance of creationism, one must also accept personal responsibility for ones' actions, acknowledging both accountability and a day or reckoning. Acceptance of the TOE demands neither. The only demand of the TOE is survival of the fittest, be it through mutation or subjugation.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Personally, it's the theory of Plate Tectonics that keeps me on the straight and narrow.

Been there, done that.
