Retracting a paper because its being used to support a belief the author doesn’t support is childish. It points to either his paper was wrong or his belief is wrong. Which one is it? Belief is more suited to religion than science. Science works from facts and theories.
Or, as Heinlein wrote,
Belief gets in the way of learning. Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973

Belief gets in the way of learning.Did Newton's belief in the Lord and Alchemy get in the way of his learning?
Did Father Lemaitre's belief in the Lord get in the way of his learning?
I could go on but there's no pint. You and Heinlein are both demonstrably wrong.

"

Belief is more suited to religion than science. Science works from facts and theories.a theory is a judgement, guess or opionion. in other words a belief.
