Presumably, believing that is the only way you can rationalise your little dusty old book.
Darwinian,
I am not aware of any scientists who will tell you they are trying to discover Truth (at least not with a capital “T”), that's more of a job for philosophy than science. It has nothing to do with my faith, it's just the way science works. We formulate theories and test them through experimentation and direct observation, we never say "we discovered the Truth today!"
