Hi Emiliano,
It was Galileo's personal belief that the earth revolved around the sun, and
Ignaz Semmelweis' personal device that childbed fever was caused by
"invisible atomies". Both personal beliefs are now common knowledge but the
contemporary scientists of Galileo and Semmelweis were just as sure of their
beliefs as you are about creationism. More recently, helicobacter pylori was
identified in 1982 by Barry Marshall and Robin Warren. Their work was
summarily dismissed because, to use your words, "widely accepted scientific
theory based on facts" convinced their detractors that no bacteria could
survive in the highly acidic environment of the human stomach. Those
authorities dismissed Marshall and Warren's findings as a personal, deeply
flawed belief.
When you say " Let's keep personal beliefs aside and the ML will work
smoothly." I believe that you are really saying that you don't want to read
opinions that diverge too far from your own. I don't think that the line
you wish to draw between personal beliefs and scientific theory is valid. It
is much easier to accept our own beliefs as 'truths'.
best wishes,
Ron

And that's precisely how it should work.
Let's keep personal beliefs aside and the ML will work smoothly. The point
is that not everything is on the same level: creationism is personal belief,
evolutionary theory is a widely accepted scientific theory based on facts
and observation.
