Your right to swing your arm ends where my nose begins (metaphorically speaking)
"Facts" and "Beliefs" do not share equal weight in ANY policy discourse.
Whatever your religious beliefs (and you are welcome to them) stays at home when you are doing business or in any other way interacting with the public.
good luck defining where facts end and beliefs begin. ultimately science is a belief, even if it is evidence-based
can you elaborate? I'm not sure what your point is
but to people with faith, their faith is evidence-based
yes but you still have to have faith in the ability of another person to do science and not falsify evidence
but you can't! are you personally able to verify the results of every scientific investigation ever performed? think about what's currently happening in psychology. loads of old foundational studies have been found to be irreproducible. and yet people had faith that they were conducted honestly and appropriately
not within your lifetime though. you just have to have faith in the peer review process. also peer reviewing typically does not involve actually reproducing the results
