Subject: RE: BS: Science under attack.
John P, I was not aware that the capital "B" imparted a special meaning.
Here are definitions of believe and belief which I accept.
If you can discredit my arguments based on these please proceed. Are you saying that I was using "Believe" as a credo because of the capital? Is that written down somewhere as a "rule?"
People can't have religious "believes"; they have religious beliefs. If you have it, it's a belief; if you do it, you believe.
