But you are believing in a positive claim, that being on science, and are rejecting the null, which is the other PoVs.

So you do admit, you dismiss everything that isn't even slightly backed up by science, no matter how reasonable it can be considered? And judging from your earlier comments, anyone who believes in such a thing is automatically a moron for not believing in the same things you do, even if their own beliefs are not unreasonable even if not aligned with science?

If I say that I believe souls exist, would I be instantly a moron just because I have a different way of seeing said subject than you? For believing that they exist despite lack of evidence, in the same way you believe they don't because of said lack of evidence?

If I say a person in a vegetable state is dead, would I be a moron for believing so? Or would I be simply a person with a different point of view on the matter, a point of view that just believes it takes more than the biological criteria to be alive?

If someone says they believe in God, are they morons for believing in God? Or would they be simply a believer of God?

If a cup has water up to 50% of it's volume, would you say it's half-empty and call everyone who says the contrary a moron? Or would you say it's half-empty but not consider anyone who says it's half-filled to be a moron?

Tell me.
