This is not true for every faith based person. For many, religion permeates their understandings of life, morality, physical existence, and extra- temporal. Religion can be very accommodating or very restrictive depending on the locus of function in the individual’s world view. Although an externally authoritative religious function is quite restrictive, a more wholistic and internalized locus of understanding is permeative.

So substitution of one thing for another is not necessary. Scientific discovery can be a very revealing growth experience for a religious person and there is nothing wrong with saying, “I don’t know…yet, but I have faith that in the fullness of time or beyond, all things can be known.”

There do not have to be definitive explanations at your finger tips for all things phenomenological, as the recognition of mystery itself is quite a wonderful and inspiring thing to experience.
