Scientists have to believe that experiments have meaning. It's impossible to prove that they do; has to be taken faith.

Not exactly on faith. New experiments are constantly being devised to test the old ones; either they withstand the test or they do not.

The basic incompatibility between science and religion is that science views knowledge as a dynamic thing that must expand and grow, and which expands and grows best when continuously challenged. Most religious organizations view their own principles as fixed facts, and see any effort to expand or challenge them as a hostile attack.
