HE “blinded me with science”, the evidence of creation is everywhere. Romans 1:20 “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”
SCIENCE, we are repeatedly told, is the most reliable form of knowledge about the world because it is based on testable hypotheses. Religion, by contrast, is based on faith. 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.
The problem with this neat separation into “non-overlapping magisteria,” as Stephen Jay Gould described science and religion, is that science has its own faith-based belief system...
Note,in the first paragraph it notes "we are repeatedly told:" this is not the author's assertion. He is merely repeating a widely held belief of others. Then, also note, his main point which is, "that science has its own faith based belief system."
At no point is the author questioning anyone's religious faith. He is examining a widely held, and mistaken, belief that what is called science does not require a form of faith similar to that of religion. Whether this a true assertion or not is debatable and should be debated. What is not true is that he is questioning anyone's actual faith.
