Perhaps it's not really fair to compare scientific models to "beliefs" but so many "skeptics" haven't really looked at experiment so to a very real extent many models have far more in common with beliefs than with experiment.
But this is mere semantics and not an attempt to insult anyone, their expertise, or lack of same.
So what if an experiment were performed today that would conclusively show there's no such thing as a gradual change in species caused by "survival of the fittest? Would it shake your "models" in cosmology, the big bang, or your certainty that our ancestors were superstitious bumpkins who wrote superstitious gobbledty gook that had no bearing whatsoever on either reality or history? Would you doubt the intelligence of experts or your own?
It seems odd that with millions of biologists trying to prove Evolution with millions of experiments that they have all been almost wholly unsuccessful for almost two centuries now.
So what if you most cherished belief is shown wrong? Will it make you believe in the Bible and God if the Bible is closer to experiment than the current theory?
