Yeah, sorry about that. I can see how a 'faith in science' sentiment when making an introductory post can appear facetious. This is the problem of communicating through written language; there is a distinct lack of tone and context. The author has a duty to be vigilant.
Anyway. It's great to see people like FAF using their critical faculties. I'm all for that; we should question absolutely everything. From hereon I'll be sure to choose my words more carefully.
Thanks again, everyone. I look forward to learning with you all...

That's fantastic. I was lucky enough to have a non-religious upbringing so when I was introduced to Carl Sagan, he instilled a profound scepticism in me which has never wavered.
