Quote:Faith in facts is still faith. 'Facts' Change all of the time, the faith one has in ever changing Facts, is the his current understanding/configuration of facts is the correct one.
Most scientists don't believe that modern science is correct. They know that it is a reasonably good model of reality, and use it as such until something happens in reality that doesn't fit the theory. No faith involved, or needed. Any scientist who believes that their current understanding of science is correct should be struck off. If you believe you have it right, what motivation do you have to seek new ideas, which is one of the core tenets of science?
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien
