Z, Science doesn't have to have "assumptions..." Science has to have a reason, however miniscule to believe something. Huh? Science works with assumptions all the time. They're called "hypotheses." The longer experimental data supports such hypotheses, the more likely the hypotheses become theories. Then theories stay around until someone can scientifically prove some other hypothesis or theory that can replace the original one. Science works with assumptions but some facts must follow those assumptions before they can become theories. Harris is promoting ID and discrediting evolution. He has only assumptions in both arguments and no facts. What you're talking about is faith, ironically enough. Huh? No he isn't. Having reason is not having faith. Faith is believing when there are no facts or reasons to believe. ted
