Why I named my site Begin With Disbelief ?

I was hunting for an apt name for my blog. I dished out a lot of them but could not settle at anyone of them. Then while going through the complete works of swami Vivekananda I came across one of his works called HINTS ON PRACTICAL SPIRITUALITY( Delivered at the Home of Truth, Los Angeles, California )

The session was interesting and I found that even after 100 years whatever he has said holds true and stood the test of time. I started thinking around the ideals he had given and came up with this name. Indeed this is not just a name it is the principle which is going to save India.
For practical purposes, let us talk in the language of modern science. But I must ask you to bear in mind that, as there is religious superstition, so also there is a superstition in the matter of science. There are priests who take up religious work as their speciality; so also there are priests of physical law, scientists. As soon as a great scientist's name, like Darwin or Huxley, is cited, we follow blindly. It is the fashion of the day. Ninety-nine per cent of what we call scientific knowledge is mere theories. And many of them are no better than the old superstitions of ghosts with many heads and hands, but with this difference that the latter differentiated man a little from stocks and stones. True science asks us to be cautious. Just as we should be careful with the priests, so we should be with the scientists. Begin with disbelief. Analyse, test, prove everything, and then take it. Some of the most current beliefs of modern science have not been proved. Even in such a science as mathematics, the vast majority of its theories are only working hypotheses. With the advent of greater knowledge they will be thrown away.
Due to time constraints I am posting only this much but will update this in the future and will be speaking more elaborately.
