What the religious zealots lack is integrity. The integrity to acknowledge that they don't have all of the answers.
Some of the "scientists" on this BB surely act like zealots when mainstream science is critisized. I am looking forward to the "maturity" in science you are talking about. It rarely manifests in practise. Instead of calling people "heathens", scientists have their own name for people they want to denigrade: "cranks".
