There is a reason why you will never see a sane person ask, "Do you be believe in gravity?", or "Do you believe in electricity?". The answer to either of those questions, if the answer comes from a sane person, will not be an opinion. If I tell you that gravity exists, and you deny it, you are a fool. Science is not opinion. You can call it anything you want but that will not make your opposing view anything other than a foolish statement. If you deny Evolution by Natural Selection, which is also Darwinian Evolution, then you must be either ignorant or a fool. You are not allowed to have opinions that are contrary to established fact and not be judged a fool by educated people. If you believe that every statement is an opinion, then you are indeed a fool.

No Jimi that is not what I am saying that I believe,  again read carefully and try without bias, Science is not an opinion however, I believe and state, that everything man says, writes, or believes IS an Opinion.  Man's/Woman/s opinion is based in information whether that information be, what you call facts, or theory or hypothesis.  Actually it is, my definition mind you, the theory or hypothesis that is a part of or a tool of science and science is the action where things are measured, observed, and tested with attempt to absolutely verify the hypothesis or theory.  Once the theory or hypothesis is verified and reproducible then one can consider it factual however still, in many cases, it is considered a theory for you, should realize that history is replete with facts that have had to be modified or rewritten.  Case in point Pluto being a planet.  So while I will accept that there are facts I would rather consider facts a fluid entity rather than dogmatic irrefutable, unchanging, and unquestionable substance.  A part of science is continual testing and challenging of facts, or so I believe that is a part of it.

 

As for religion or parts of Religion you have to, in my mind you have to, be objective enough to anticipate that there are entities and a realm apart from the physical.  I acknowledge and call this realm as the Spiritual and apart from that I envision the supreme the Origin as God.  Hypothetical or Theoretical certainly however unlike other theories or hypotheses Science can only test, sample, measure, realize, and quantify the Physical therefore science is insufficient to explain or even test the Spiritual.  This is why I have no problem saying Science will never prove God but likewise Science will never disprove God.  Currently as we have huge and monstrous colliders built around the world they are looking for theoretical particles.  Then even if they find these theoretical particles and verify they exist then they just verify a fraction of the overall theory.  A theory that quite likely is unverifiable being the origin and process of the Universe and that is from a Physical point of view.  Creation acknowledges God as the Origin and/or creator and the Spiritual Realm as the source of creation of the Physical.  To keep it from getting far too lengthy I will stop here but the reasoning behind everything man says being an opinion is that man accepts data and results or another person's conclusions as fact but man has no innate facts or factual data in the Physical realm or so that's how I believe it to be.  That is my Opinion.
