You're speaking the language of a person who believes that the scientific understanding of the world is, a..wrong..and, b..an example of faithing one's way to conclusions - just like philosophy, for that matter.
No man. This is why we don’t understand each-other. I’m simply asking if you have a problem with one group or another using science to make leaps of faith on existential topics. And it sounds like you do have a problem with people doing that. This doesn’t strike me as very tolerant because I don’t care who uses science to answer existential questions.
Live and let live.
