Judah,


But even scientists believe
certain circumstances happen outside the realm of probability:



Such a broad statement doesn't cover the scientific method. Nothing can
happen outside the realm of possibility - if it is not possible, it is
not possible.

Oh, and scientists generally can "believe" all they want - during their
time off the job. "Belief" is not involved in the scientific method.


Sure it is. They believe in their instruments. They believe in their
data. They believed that light consisted of waves for many years. Lots
of things that scientists deal with are based on beliefs.
