as you may guess i,m no scientist,but i know a few who are
Not good enough, I'm afraid. Relatively few people are scientists-by-employment, but you can still take a scientific approach to thinking about problems. If you believe something - anything at all actually - ask yourself why. Is it based on measurements, which you can either repeat or cross check with other people who have made similar measurements, or is it based on what someone has said. If its the latter, it's no good as science, whether it is by your local guru or Richard Dawkins.

I don't believe everything can be answered by science even in principle, by the way, but the "I'm no X" line is no justification for failing to try, whether X is 'scientist', 'historian', 'artist' or anything else.
