Just a thought, but isn't it strange that scientists can utter forth theories and beliefs concerning wormholes in space, multiple dimensions and empty boxes that aren't really empty and we all frown and nod studiously, yet when a man of religion states his own belief in the existence of a God etc. we think he's away with the fairies?

Of course I'm expressing my opinion from a position of absolute doltishness about quantum mechanics and the like, but aren't many of these theories themselves built upon assumptions nigh on impossible to either prove or disprove?
The theories aren't advanced as fact, they are advanced as theories, to be proved and disproved when evidence is available. Even the ones that we accept as fact now are still up for grabs. That's what good science is, continual testing, experimenting, empiricism. Religious belief has no need for evidence or proof, as far as I am aware it's about unquestioning faith in something that by its very nature can't be proved.
