LOL. Science a religion. LOL. Science is the study of things we do not understand, and the attempt to understand those things which we see / find, and is subject to constant revision should there be sufficient conflicting information.

 

Religion is the attribution of everything to a higher power. Nothing is subject to revision. God always did it. 

 

Flat earthers, chem-trailers, moon landing sceptics, anti vaxxers, climate change denialists... the list goes on. All batty, and essentially argue from an ideological standpoint. Meaning, really, that no amount of evidence presented as a counter-argument will change their views.

The earth is not flat , that I know for a fact but it's not round either . If you keep on walking in one direction you will eventually fall over the edge .

Hmmm. The difference being that there is just one source of most "faiths" vs the primary tenet of science being the requirement of any theory having to be repeatable, demonstrable and falsifiable. 

 

Therefore it's a faith in the system and how it presents things, vs the faith in some 1,500 year old text that was compiled of "eye witness accounts" and 3rd hand testaments.
