You have more faith in science than I do, friend.

No faith needed or required. Simple observation of evidence is quite sufficient.

That's the ideal. But you and I both know that's not the way it works in practice. The idea that through science we can understand everything and anything in the universe is a statement of faith, not fact.

And, btw, one can be a genuine disciple of science in it's most ideal form and still be a God-fearing Christian. Many of the greatest scientific minds in history were.

Hence the impending disaster of man-made climate change!
