: Exactly. In this sense, "black holes exist" needn't be falsifiable (in the absence of evidence, there's no reason to think it is true instead of the null hypothesis) in order to be scientific. [[User:TaKess|TaKess]] 19:33, 3 April 2009 (EDT)

==Could we just say scientists?==
I keep seeing references to "atheistic scientists", would it be more accurate to simply say "scientist"? Maybe even "secular scientist", although the former is preferred. There is no information on the scientists' belief systems who proposed various Moon Origin hypotheses, it would be misleading to call them all atheists. -- [[User:BMcP|BMcP]] 15:33, 18 June 2009 [EDT]
