Alex,
Do not take my reply as an offense, please..

Religion does not necessarily imply belief or discussion about supreme being.
Rather, it is a method used to explain things around us.

Scientific method assumes experiment (or observation of certain phenomena), hypothesis to explain them, more experiments to confirm hypothesis, working theory, prediction of new phenomena that follow from theory, confirmation of those predictions by even more experiments, acceptance of theory, and then back to the beginning, for re-checking. All in that order, no step should be missed, and all that must be possible to be repeated by anyone [properly equipped with tools (math and others) of course].

Your method is hypothesis, acceptance of hypothesis and then extrapolation to everything else, without any experimental confirmation, and without looping back.
This is what I call religious approach, and it is certainly not scientific.
By all means you have the right to your opinions, but please do not discuss them here, because this is supposed to be the discussion forum for scientific stuff, as mentioned in the header.
