"The term “doubting Thomas” well illustrates the difference. In science, a healthy skepticism is a professional necessity, whereas in religion, having belief without evidence is regarded as a virtue. "

I think I understand English well enough to point out that "doubting" Thomas did not take his faith w/o evidence. Like many commentors on science/religion the author doesn't understand the very foundational elements of Christianity.

St Paul says test EVERYTHING w/ reason and logic.

The author got his point on St Thomas exactly wrong.

The author got his point on St Thomas exactly wrong.

A statement made based on unspoken a priory beliefs (faith) is pretty much useless.
The identical argument can be made about islam.
