I am the guy who invented 'non-beliefism'.
Ever wonder why scientists believe in science?
The *FACTS*:
(1)
Belief definition: "To accept as true, especially absent evidence".
(Note: None of the varying meanings of belief under a particular dictionary's definition of belief opposes the meaning above. Any opposing meaning would be found in antonyms instead..)
(Google belief definition source)
(2)
Belief tends to facilitate that beings ignore evidence, on the boundary of confirmation bias:
(Cognitive paper on belief)
(3)
"Belief memories" are typically false:
(Neuroscience paper on belief)
Belief is observed to oppose science by definition/research. (i.e. belief lowly concerns evidence, while science highly concerns evidence)
SO, WHY DO SCIENTISTS (EXCEPT Neil Degrasse Tyson...) BELIEVE IN SCIENCE (especially when Science is true regardless of belief)?
