how about belief in God? Are scientists allowed to believe in

Only as a hypothesis with a very low to non existent probability.
+1. Also, where's the repeatable aspect? I'll start to believe in gods
and ghosts when you can tell me the exact proportion of bribe I have to

should be repeatable.
I believe religion is a concept invented by humans to be able to deal

Unfortunately, a concept that is too prone to be used for the wrong ends
by the wrong people.
