Simply because this is what we've learned through our constant study, observation, and evaluation. It wasn't passed down to us in a book and told to us a truth verbatim. It is questioned, it evolves.

Perhaps, yes I can call science my faith. It is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it doesn't necessarily govern my choices. But I have faith that it is the truth, much as you have faith that there is a god in control of it all.

You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!? [Image: TARDIS.gif]
