I should qualify the above statement … the words "no-one" above, would be more precise if I were to replace it with the following words:
"no-one practising real science, abuses the mathematics behind the Infinite Universe theory, by attempting to use it to explain life's emergence on Earth, or to falsify life's emergence on Earth !"

I should point out that the sense I am using the term 'faith' is not solely directed at religion (although religious beliefs do fall under the same definition).
Specifically, the 'faith' I'm referring to is the faith which encompasses the belief that exo-life exists … I guess this is also beginning to qualify as a religion nowadays, anyway, .. and it is penetrating into mainstream science masquerading under the banner of science.
