Okay. So it seems that your position is sort of what I thought it was, in that you're for true objectivity and true skepticism. Science has its dogmas, and there's a tendency for people to overlook that because HEY, it's science!

That said, I think that when there is overwhelming evidence in favor of a particular position, it's reasonable to expect that one start to change one's beliefs. Really, the realm of science has become most dogmatic in the face of hard evidence; intelligent, highly educated scientists have denied the weight of it rather than face what it means. That sort of supports what you've been saying, in the sense that if some people hadn't dared to forge on despite prevailing opinion, then many incorrect paradigms would never have been overthrown. But, at the same time, it demonstrates that there's a point at which belief becomes grounded in something other than what's real, and I think it's worthwhile to challenge that sort of belief.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I think people are taking you in the completely wrong way (which I was in danger of doing).
