It sounds, when you talk about science as faith, like you have read Thomas Kuhn’s Structures of Scientific Revolutions. Definitely one of the most influential books of the last century. I saw him in person once. A brilliant man, but symbiotically attached to his cigarettes.
I have not met or read any of his works. But I’m always looking for a good author and a good book as I travel a lot and have a fair amount of plane time.
