WHich in my opinion is just as much of a dogma without support as faith
in a theism.

If anything, this is probably where I wind up. You might also call us
_Faithless Deists_. The requirement to have "faith" is IMHO anathema to
anyone who considers themselves to have a scientific mind. Whether this
faith is in the existence or nonexistence of a U-Prime, it does not
matter, as nothing can be proven, NOW. Others like John Clark would say
that to a scientist, if it can't be proven NOW then it doesn't exist,
which is wrong. There is much in our observable universe which we have
no idea how it works, and there are plenty of loopholes in scientific
theories that describe phenomena which we have no way of proving or
observing NOW. Tomorrow we may be able to, and that is called progress,
which is the scientists "holy" mission to bring about. A scientist
cannot do so if he or she has a closed mind.
