What's there not to believe? Anyone using GPS cannot deny Einstein -
it wouldn't work without relativity.

Relativity has certainly been well-tested and (as you say) widely
used. However, there is serious discussion taking place concerning the
possibility of a variable speed of light as an alternative to
inflation during the early phases of the big bang.

Which demonstrates the fundamental difference between science and
religion - science
is falsifiable, and it is correctable. Religion is not. Science can say
"look here - here's
something that can't be explained by relativity, maybe we need to modify
our theories
a little bit."

When religion can propose a test that, if succesful, would disprove
the existance of God,
then will I be willing to grant it a status on par with science.
