you are still using the same definition for faith in separate context.
faith is belief in the absence or on bad evidence
science belief is based on the best evidence available about any particular topic.
so your use of the term blind faith is just plain wrong. stop doing it.
BS!
Since you didn't understand it the first time I said it, I'll say it again.
I said "blind faith" not "faith" for a reason. I used the word "blind" as an intensifier.
"Blind faith" is classifying "faith" to mean "faith without evidence or proof."
The differences between faith & blind faith are simple. Faith is believing in something; with or without any information about whatever that something is. Blind-faith... is lacking in some component(s) of information but still continuing to believe in something
You can have faith that something will occur knowing that the evidence suggests the outcome... but blind-faith is having faith something will occur with no evidence or conflicting evidence against that outcome.

Scientist dont use blind faith to assume anything about the natural world they endeavor to discover the reasons why...sometimes we just dont know but you cannot make the leap the supernatural just because its intellectually repugnant.
When scientists believe something based on absolutely no evidence then that belief is based on blind faith.
Provide me with any evidence that even tends to prove their belief that God does not exist.
If scientists can't then they are hypocrites when they ridicule someone who believes that God exists based on no evidence.

you really are thick headed.
again its not blind faith or belief in 'zero' evidence the accumulated knowledge of the natural world around us here on Earth and in the vacuum of space lead us to believe life started around 3.5 billion years ago, we dont know exactly how it started, but their is zero evidence to suggest some supernatural power, and now life has evolved over eons to what we observe today
Its hard to argue with someone who assumes some white bearded sky daddy snap-crackle-popped existence when they dont understand the very simplest nature of science...which is the observation of the natural world
Not the super natural....scientist dont write in their journals.
frick it,God went and dun it
We know the orbit of pluto is 248 years but it was discovered this century. is that blind faith? we havent observed a full plutarian year yet, but our accumulated knowledge of math, planetary movement, gravitational interactions, optics, spectography...all tell us what we assume is a correct measurement for pluto's orbit.
Its no different with the origins of life...all the necessary ingredients are out there in space right now to seed life, it just takes a stroke of luck and some chemistry because we are here arguing this right now.
