Sigh... not even ten posts into the thread and already the ad hominem "you aren't educated", "you can't speak the language", "you don't understand the basics of science" card is pulled out.
It must be very difficult for some of these people to reason when they base so much of what they write on assumptions.
Well considering that this person is equating science to a religion shouldn't he understand the "basics of science"?
It isn't an ad hom at all, it is calling out a strawman (where he builds his argument based on a fallacious definition of "theory").
Calling out a logical fallacy isn't a logical fallacy.

It's not assumptions all the time. I read the article in the OP...ignorant blather.
Well of course science is a religon and it's not anything new. Science is the bible of secular humanism. Have you ever told a true believer that Evolution is a load of bunko? If you have then you will know what I mean. They guard their pet theories as zealously as Muslims guard the Prophet!
I was reading a piece where person brought up a very good point opposing evolution and the evolution expert who was debating said, "sometime you just to have FAITH in the theory".

Interesting. Where does the bible go through peer review? When was the last time any religion revised its dogma when new evidence presented itself? Where are the assertions of miracles being tested experimentally?
Science is not a religion. If someone wants to make a religious cult around evolution, the scientific hypothesis or the periodic table, that's their business; but science the way it's practiced by scientists is far from any religious doctrine.
You people take things way too literally. I think the OP was decrying what he believes is a growing element of theories (namely anthropomorphic global warming) being foisted onto the scientific world. I wouldn't compare science to religion in this way, I'd compare it to politics..
