It seems to me that some of us are missing Cliff's point, which is
In the context of this list, "belief" as it is taught to science
students would have to include a discussion of the criteria for
successful theories. Once that is covered, I don't see much problem
with teaching what theories may be "believed in" based on available
evidence, etc. Of course, as the sophistication of the students
advances, more and more details may be investigated (the _basis_ for
the beliefs).
