So, Diane, speaking of semantics, I have a theory that the strange word
in your middle name is an unholy alliance between "define" and "defend".
Please elucidate - inquiring minds don't take these things on faith.

One does not believe or disbelieve in scientific theories. One accepts
or
rejects them based on testing and examination of evidence.
Belief is a concept associated with theology and implies mental
acceptance
(faith) of a topic in the absence of testable truth or evidence.
