No, I'm calling you on a statement that you made.

Science should be based on skepticism and questioning, not faith. A good deal of what passes for science is faith-based, however. When one claims that man and dog have a common ancestor one is making a statement of faith.

Now, faith is not bad.In fact it is necessary for man in dealing with the world. In fact, it is silly to say one does not need faith.

And a good scientist can also be a man of faith.
