sci-bli 

A blind faith in anything remotely scientific in nature. Sci-Bli is a blind acceptance that science provides answers to everything from the origin of the universe and life to the nature of consciousness. The Sci-Bli are willing to overlook the rigours of scientific method, in particular the need to prove a hypothesis using experiment and observation that may be replicated, and are predisposed to engage in the belittling of any idea or theory that does not conform with orthodox scientific belief, even if the idea or theory has a grounding in science, branding the authors of such work as 'heretics' in the same manner detractors of religious faiths have been in the past. Sci-Bli'ers can be seen to be rooted in science fiction and cling to notions that have absolutely no place in proven science, for example hyperspace, warp drives and star gates.

Though not without good reason, those who do not believe that Man has walked on the Moon are branded 'conspiracy theorists' or 'Moon-landing deniers' by any number of people who themselves, incapable of explaining how something that might have been achieved 50 years ago has proved impossible to replicate, are guilty of having a blind faith in science and deserving of the title 'Sci-Bli'.
