Interesting discourse, indeed. Brent, I would add to:

the *_scientific BELIEF _(sic!) which is* also a belief, based on prerequisite
evidences BELIEVED to be TRUE. Those precursors of such evidences, however, come from
the human mind's sweat(?) to explain what has been misunderstood if at all. (Then,
later, changed - if...).
This is the millennial-old mental 'evolution' leading to our conventional sciences
(including IMO - sorry!) math and QM as well). We know only part of the TOTAL and
pretend that it is *_A L L_* . That leads to arguments between soul and mind etc.
Between the 'bible-truth' and calculated 'evidence' with constants invented to make it a
match. The Physical World figment.
We do not have the details and mechanism of the infinite complexity of the WORLD, we
work in models formulated from the little we know of (topically).
We BELIEVE they are true and 'evidenced'.
Evidenced, sure. That doesn't mean I *believe* them. But just because there are gaps
(chasms?) in our models of the world that does not constitute evidence for bronze age
myths that sheep herders told around the campfire.

As Copernicus could not know about distant galaxies' supernovae or genetics, etc., we
cannot predict what will be the image of the average teenagers about the world 500 years
hence.
May I refer to the great Cohen-Stewart book's (Chaos) aliens (Zarathustrans?) with a
different math and logic from ours? It is an excellent try.
