But other scientists working in the field do.
I think the nearest that the reilgious have come to validating their assumptions are lame arguments e.g. the ontological argument.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I've got two stars where did they come from?
* correction : they haven't come close *
I know everyone makes assumptions, especially about relatively unimportant things, but if you ask a scientist for evidence to support their belief they will happily say "here you go" while the theist will dodge the question because they become suddenly aware than no such evidence exists.
