Its not so much a religion as a giant Cult. Anybody who questions the cult will be ostracized or excommunicated and nobody in the cult wants that. Like all cults they never question themselves and only attack anybody who questions them. This thread is a perfect example, to question science is heresy.

"... to question science is heresy." You are missing the point entirely. To question science is science.
Scientists are like little boys on the playground. A playground of the mind, perhaps.
One makes an assertion. "Oh, yeah? PROVE it!" says another.
The science occurs when he does.
