Faith and worship have nothing to do with science, so no.

Yes. In the fevered minds of anti-science zealots.
I guess you will need to elaborate on that portrait for a meaningful answer to be possible.
Why are you capitalizing science? It's not a proper noun.

I think the OP is trying to claim that science is a religion that you put faith into because they want to pull science down to their religion's level.
That has nothing to do with science. That's another black Muslim movement, similar to the Nation of Islam.

Nope. Not even close.
I thought this was what was asked for. A temple of Science were faith prevails.
Kind of?
Apart from philosophical relativism, EVERY approach to thinking has at its foundation at least one axiom. You could potentially say that axioms are statements of faith. If you take this line of reasoning, then you could say that scientists *have faith* in:
- critical thinking
- logic
- verifiable evidence
- the value of discovery
- parsimonious explanations
Absolutely NOT! One of the chief obligations of science is to challenge everything. The only "faith" anyone has in science in the method of science itself.
Well in the bible the prophets say to their people, you yourself are a temple to God. If a person puts their faith in God they are a temple of God. If money is their high tower they are a temple of money. So those who trust in science to see them through are a temple of science.
No, but there are museums I suppose. You know that whole education thing? Perhaps it would be prudent to actually try to learn a bit of legit science instead of these threads? Probably more productive.

Oh, and congratulations on asking the most monumentally stupid question of the day.
Given the level of discussion on RF recently, that is no small feat.Please

I don't think they would be considered "temples," although there are a lot of science museums out there for learning and enlightenment.
I recall this little number back when Disneyland used to have their "Adventure Through Inner Space" ride, "Miracles From Molecules":
I suppose if one believes that humans can make their own "miracles," then maybe it implies a degree of faith in humanity and our constant search for more knowledge and understanding of the universe in which we live.
