To the extent that they 'believe' the scientific method has utility,
that is true. But, if they 'believe' this, they will test everything,
and not be 'religious' about anything. So how could they treat science
as a religion? :-)

Historically, there has been MUCH more religious persecution, and this
is likely still true if you look around the world.

I'm not sure what this 'proves'. Please explain your logic.

True. I know a LOT of them, and they are like that.

I think you misunderstand what is happening. A scientist 'believes'
the scientific method has utility. If you, as a 'religious' trader,
are challenging this, you must provide 'scientific' proof to be
convincing to a scientist.

You have been asked to do this repeatedly, and I cannot recall a
single instance where you have given the requested answer in 'science'
terms. It would seem you always give 'religious' answers to 'science'
questions, and then wonder why the asker is not satisfied. These are
NOT attacks, just requests, although you choose to call them attacks.

A 'science' person will almost always ask for scientific proof. This
challenge is NOT an attack, although many, if not most, 'religious'
people interpret this as an attack because it implicitly challenges
their 'religious' world view.

I have said repeatedly that it is important to understand the profound
differences in these two camps. It is not clear that you understand
this.
