And since this is America, we are all free to believe as we see fit.

Yes there are a lot that feel that way. Some criminals believe its OK to kill others. Some who's dog was killed 10 years ago still believe he is playing out side. However science is not based on your beliefs. That is philosophy. Science was designed as a method to observe material facts and give evidence and explanation of the fact. It does not care what is faith and belief. It would seem that after all that collage one should know the difference between the methods of philosophy, science, and mathematics. It should have been learned in High School.

Even in philosophy one must have logical reasoning to back up one's beliefs. Otherwise it becomes irrational epistemology. One does have the freedom to choose this as their preferred philosophy though.
