No, it is not "because some experts or scientist said it". It is because the experts and scientists have devoted many years of study and the evidence leads them to certain conclusions. The evidence and conclusions have been PEER REVIEWED and found to be valid (at least to this point). It is rather illogical to NOT believe the experts are correct in this matter.

No. It's just very highly likely to be true as nothing has been found thus far that contradicts the theory.
Quote:Thats blind faith. Do you realise that ?
And here is the stupid, asinine, ridiculous, moronic, dopey, idiotic, dumbass, bullshit argument from the Creationist playbook labeled "How Atheists Have Faith in Science!".
I'll type this very slowly so you will hopefully understand and not embarrass yourself again in the future.
"Blind faith" is believing something to be true when there is no evidence (or even contradictory evidence) that what you believe is true. You must have "blind faith" that Jesus rose up from the dead because there is no evidence to support this notion. This DOES NOT apply to scientific theories such as ET as these theories are supported by mountains of evidence.
I'll give you an example. A scientist claims he has measured the speed of light at 186,000 miles per second. Other scientists repeat his experiments and come to the same conclusion. After more years of experimentation by numerous scientists all over the world, everyone reaches the same conclusion; the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. Now, if I believe that the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second, that IS NOT "blind faith".
On the other hand, if some guy in a robe declares that the speed of light is a billion miles a second, and he bases this conclusion on an ancient text written by unknown authors, and there is no independent evidence to support this conclusion, then believing such a thing to be true would indeed be "blind faith".
Got it now?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
