Is Faith in Science Identical to Faith in God?

[AxisMundi]

No, they really don't.


Oh, for God's sake! It's not even a different site, just go poke around.

1. My personal experiences differ, and I am very active in interfaith matters.

2. Link or drop it.

Well, seeing as I've been attending one of the largest UU congregations in the country weekly for 4.5 years, and actually identify as UU, I'd say my experience trumps yours. If they said that all other Gods were "Jehova in disguise," I wouldn't waste my time on them.

2. Link or drop it.

Why should I bother? If you're too lazy to navigate to the DIR, the very existence of which negates your claim that nobody believes anymore, you wouldn't read anything I linked.

1. So YOU say.

2. I'll except that as an admission on your part.

Prove me wrong, then.

Yes, I freely admit you're full of ****.

?????? Just what do you think Richard Dawkins does? Or don't you consider him part of science?

When he is doing research and writing peer reviewed papers, he is participating in science.

When he writes the God Delusion, or participates in other religious debates, he is not participating in science, even though he may utilize his scientific knowledge to support his arguments.

The question posed in the OP is very illogical. What it should ask is, is religious faiths and beliefs of scientists, identical to to those of believers. Irrespective of what a scientists belief is, it is identical to that of the believer.

You don't think what the belief is, or how it was obtained, has any impact on the nature of the belief?

Is strong belief in the geocentrism theory the exact same as a strong belief in the heliocentric theory of the solar system?

Many believers around the world have the same faith and belief in science, as scientist do. Many scientists have the same blind faith as believers do when it comes to a deity.

Right. We aren't debating that because it seems rather self-evident. The OP was asking whether belief in the tenets of science is the same as belief in the tenets of a religious faith.
