Science makes inferences from things that can be observed and checked by others. It is interesting that scientists from all over the world agree on the main paradigms of the various sciences, while people of varying religions are killing each other over the interpretation of texts.
It is interesting that most scientific disputes are settled in a few years or a few decades, while people of various religions are re fighting 1700 year old heresies.
There are distinct difference in the subject matter and methodologies of religion and science. Science only studies those questions that can be resolved by empirical methods.
All humans are religious. All scientists are religious, too. You err in setting them up as holy disciples of objective reality, incapable of fighting, jealousy, hatred, murder, and all that attends to human emotion, bad motives, and the like. If you truly believe science and scientists are capable of pure objectivity then you have deceived yourself with a faith more absurd than belief in a Tooth Fairy. Objectivity by definition begins outside of human experience and can only be attained impurely. Normal, human limitations bespeak as much.
