All of us have a belief or knowledge that is nothing but fantastical bullshit. All. Of. Us.
We declare ourselves rational but the fact is that you and me both have at least one irascible belief. That's perfectly natural. It happens.

But really, what ever happened to Martin Luther-esque thinkers creating new religious doctrines based on complex reinterpretations of the bible? Not to suggest that this was the norm in the past, but it seems as though religion has somewhat regressed in complexity among many churches.
Martin Luther wrote:But since the devil's bride, Reason, that pretty whore, comes in and thinks she's wise, and what she says, what she thinks, is from the Holy Spirit, who can help us, then? Not judges, not doctors, no king or emperor, because [reason] is the Devil's greatest whore.

Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but--more frequently than not--struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.

a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation.
