I have learn t that finally even science depends a great deal upon belief and faith ...and I know folk get outraged if one suggests our science requires faith and belief but those folk must accept that even science is subject to such mechanics of interpreting our "reality". The advantage with science is there is observation and evidence to support the beliefs we arrive at... but finally a belief is born and when that belief plays in the game the evidence that brought that belief into being is not dragged out for review.. that is the beauty of belief we believe our science and the painstaking methods, experiments etc that got us to this point such that we do not need to review it daily...that is good and it is a pity that religion and politics dont follow the opposite .

That's your belief Alex not science. This is circular logic also employed by the other Alex who suggests that mainstream science operates like a belief base system through mathematics, but then we spend billions of dollars on experiment and observation. By doing that we are actually questioning the theory, so it cannot by definition be based on belief in the first place.
What's this about reviewing experiment/observation daily? If you don't like the answer then let's just continue the experiment/observation in the hope it's wrong and it comes up with an answer that supports our own beliefs.
It appears you are projecting your own prejudices on science.
