I think what some people call "faith" in science, is really a reliance on data. The faithful have no data- if they did, they wouldn't be "faithful"- they'd be scientists. We are, from infancy, scientists. We drop our toy on the floor- gravity! We play with water- it's not like solids! And then, someone tells us about religion, like they tell us about Santa. And for some people, that God thing lasts a lifetime even though Santa doesn't. Go figure. I don't get it. (Although to be fair, there's a lot more evidence for Santa than God- there's a hell of a lot of fat men in red suits everywhere claiming to be Santa...but, like God, if there's only one, why are there so many fat men in red suits? )
