I have said this many times before: no one is talking about assumptions. Nor is anyone talking about blindly believing in claims regardless of who makes them. It is very weird, Retorth, that you keep objecting to things no one's talking about.

If you believe the scientists and their findings, given the stated evidence thereof, then how is it NOT as simple as 'yes' or 'no'? How can you admit belief in the claim of scientists but not admit belief in the claim of scientists? I really don't get it, man. Sorry. Darwinian asked me if I believe the universe is 13.7 billion years old (the claim of scientists). I did not feel any difficulty with providing a simple "yes" in answer, which leaves me wondering where your difficulty is stemming from.
