don't have faith... lol, considering ad hoc fixes are how creationists maintain their theories to deal with evidence against them.

I was merely being humorously (to some) cynical about the price tags on many scientific endeavors and pieces of equipment, and about theoretical science— that which consists only of theory and observation, as opposed to experimental science— that which can falsified directly via experiment and not by the happy coincidence of something doing something that contradicts theory while we happen to be observing it. Which isn't to say that theoretical science is not without logic or utility.

One would think that FReepers would be used to cynicism by now, but that's only a supposition. And I could say that skinkinthegrass 'obviously' has 'a deep seated contempt' for the religious, but I think I'll refrain from doing so in case that he/she may have been cynically humorous in their remark.
