Considering it is fine. Believing it is another matter all together. This is where you seem to get confused.
The thing is, is you are free to 'consider' these things, but personally I think it's a waste of time BECAUSE there is no basis for it in scientific evidence. That's why science comes into it.
If you believe in unfounded ideas such as what you describe then yes, I do believe you to be an idiot. Because it's as baseless as believing in pixies or trolls that live under bridges.

They are speculating yes. But mostly they conform to Occam's razor. Can the same be said about your beliefs?
