You killfiled me because you didn't like your rather poor reasoning being
exposed and couldn't answer the questions I posed to you. Nothing more
"noble" than that.

I did not say that it is a belief system. However, it requires some measure
of faith to accept it. Perhaps that is simply faith in science, or faith in
the theory, so it is a belief system in that sense. However, contrary to
your remarks, I do not ask that that "faith" be defended. I don't ask
anything. I simply made a comment in an ongoing thread on the subject.
Intelligent people will either respond or not, as they see fit. You, on the
other hand, will attempt to denigrate and
insult.

Which is why I don't much care whether you killfile me. You haven't anything
of value to add to a discussion anyway.
