No one accepts on "faith" in science. The evidence seemed to indicate certain conclusions. When better evidence became available it was discovered that the initial conclusions were incorrect. That is very standard science and no one has egg on their face. When I was in college doing summer research, my initial data showed some interesting results regarding mutation rates. But as I repeated the experiments over the summer, the data no longer supported any such results; the initial values were clearly outliers. I was disappointed (hey, what college student does not want to publish a paper in a scientific journal!) but my professor said that's how science works, most initial hypotheses do have to be junked on further review. The only ones who have egg on their faces are those who claim immovable faith in an infallible millennia-old book.
Pretty soon your sig will be longer than any of your posts. And by "pretty soon," I mean probably now.
