Religion is Evil!

I take my religious hat off when I'm acting as a scientist.I wouldn't say that I believe in evolution, I'd say that I accept it.But sometimes when I'm in the lab doing technical support, investing a customer's problem, I just can't gather enough data to make a strong enough conclusion one way or the other. I'll tell them that, and if I can I'll say things like it seems like this is the problem, or, this is most likely the cause... sometimes, though, they're looking for a professional opinion on the matter, and at that point I'm comfortable saying that I believe that this is the cause. In that sense, I don't have enough information to say for sure, but I've seen enough to convince myself. So there can be instances where a scientist can come to a belief based on evidence rather than a conclusion.

Well I do my part; when asked if I believe in evolution I say: "No! I accept evolution from the evidence. Belief is for when there isn't enough evidence."Given that there's plenty of incidents where we don't have enough evidence, I think there's room left for the word 'belief' to be usable by non-religionists. You shouldn't let them hijack it.
