Scientists choose to believe science because they trust what other men do. Accepting what others tell you is called trust and demonstrates faith in their work and character. Scientists have just chosen their belief system based on something other than Scripture but is it a belief system and faith and trust are used. Christians just put their faith in something more dependable.

With every post like this you demonstrate your disdain for science.

How about a definition of religion from another source besides the made up by FRevos and put in their List-O-Definitions? Something more authoritative and widely recognized?

Those definitions you continually carp on?

Try a google search for those terms. Google was my primary source. It was not "FRevos" who did that list. I did that list, with some advice from a wide range of folks. Changes can still be suggested to the thread.

But if you note, those definitions were chosen to be as close as possible to the way scientists use the terms. They do not include all definitions from Merriam Webster, but rather the definitions scientists use.

And I suspect they contradict your cherished assumptions, and that is why you hate them so.

Making up your own definitions and claiming that they’re *as scientists use them* isn’t fooling anybody. It’s simply as Frevos use them. Everyone else I meet recognizes those other sources as authoritative.
