I try not to believe ANYTHING. It's not always easy because my "education" consisted of various adults drilling their beliefs into my head for years on end. I came out of the school system believing a bunch of things and went decades before the wheels started to wobble and fall off of some of these theories. Now I'm deprogramming myself and rather than "correcting" those beliefs, I'm just accumulating data, theories, personal observations and many new questions.
What I see in this discussion is one user posing questions that challenge our beliefs and several users responding emotionally in defense of their beliefs. Remember, science is never "settled", it is always open to a challenge, otherwise it is "belief".
