Why do you use the word religion as a pejorative?

How do you think the term religion applies to Science? Is the term you are really looking for ‘false-religion’, ‘heresy’, ‘blasphemy’?

What is the belief of Science or Scientism dogma? I am a Scientist and was never told to obey any dogma, I was told what the evidence indicated, and what experiments were done that lead to that conclusion. We don’t just learn that DNA replicates in a semi-conservative fashion, we review the Meselson-Stahl experiment that showed it to be the case.

That is not dogma, it is an indication of what the data supports. One is free to replicate the experiment or find contradictory data; but all assumptions based upon semi-conservative replication of DNA bore fruit, and the notion was further confirmed when the X-ray crystal 3-D structure of DNA polymerase was discovered and Okasaki discovered his eponymous fragments.
