"That's the biggest difference between science and faith. Science will admit what it does not know, while the faithful know everything."

Funny considering how scientists will stridently defend their pet theories even if proven wrong. Max Planck put it best:

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."
--Max Planck

If that's true, then there is no such thing as objecively verifiable scientific inquiry. It's all simply propaganda. You sure you want to run with that?
