Yet another example of how the vast majority of people are morons. I don't take any science on faith. I simply don't have opinions on things that I don't understand or don't see results from. If I can see the results from something then I'll accept the scientific explanation as the probably being the best explanation even if I don't completely understand some of the specifics. I don't consider that taking it on faith though.

People seem to have a problem with simply saying I dont know. Thats where the phrase "I choose to believe" rears its ugly head and self delusion takes over rational thought.

When you don't fully understand something but you trust that someone else has done their due diligence in the gaps where your comprehension is incomplete, that is quite literally faith.

Example: is it possible to know with absolute certainty that perception of the world is identical among all humans, knowing that brain chemistry, genetic makeup, and experiences vary from person to person? Isn't it possible that perception varies between people, but because of conditioning, people react to stimuli in much the same way across the board? I don't think we currently can, but we take it on faith that it is.
