Quote:Nothing in science is taken on faith. In a lab, we have our eyes, our instruments, and our minds. We test, we observe, we measure, we repeat ad nauseum. We reserve any judgment until after all the data is in. Only then do we examine the data and form hypothesis and conclusions. Every theory must be corroborated. Everything is suspect. I was lucky enough to take a physics course where we actually had to do experiments to derive the equations for current, gravity, inertia, and other phenomena. Because of this I feel fairly confident in the workings of physics. Not because I read it in a book, or because it was told to me, but because I have seen it, measured it, and confirmed it for myself.
Religion cannot allow such examination else its claims would be dismissed and the preachers would have to get a real job.
