No you don't. You reject scientific empirical evidence wherever it may contradict your beliefs. That's not investigation, it's apologetics with doubt.
I don't reject "empirical" scientific evidence and I just posted to another thread today concerning archaeological evidence for the bible. I trust science to the degree that we should. But I also believe in the existence of the supernatural even though science rejects that. Too many very intelligent people throughout the centuries believed in the supernatural for me to dismiss it - science or not. If you're not open to anything other than science, then you're the closed-minded one. Science has been proven wrong often, but I wouldn't dismiss it because it has been correct very often. The same and other very intelligent people believed in science also, but I and they wouldn't put all our eggs in that one basket.
