What is putting your faith in science?
***See post #38.
I constantly “put my faith” in reliable technologies that were developed by scientific means to accomplish various rapid, high precision measurements; does that mean that I am practicing a religion?
***Probably not. But with all the problems mankind is facing, how do you think such problems will be solved? By science?
I think that using the word ‘science’ in this manner is counter-productive. It’s something else; not science in any way (although many of its proponents try to claim the title ‘scientist’ in the persuit thereof)
***If you put your trust/faith/confidence in science, then using the term in that manner is not counter-productive.
You made that one too easy. All the serious problems that mankind faces have their roots in sin, and science is powerless against sin. Science solves physical tasks through the development of technologies that speed or simplify those tasks. Clearly science has no linkage to the religions that we invent to cover our spiritual short commings.
