Technical details

If your theory can't explain all the technical details in the scientific process then it becomes faith. The first thing school children are taught about the scientific process is that it should be repeatable. We look at the evidence and then try to explain with an hypothesis. After that we test the hypothesis and change it so that it fits the new data. If a theory can't explain our observations properly it should be changed or even rejected for a better explanation of the facts. As long as people cling to a bad theory they are in the sphere of faith, that is, religion. Why do the US courts support one religion but refuse to support any other religion?
