Ok, but my experience is that when most people say things like "science is just another kind of faith" they don't mean what you say you mean, though I still disagree with what you mean as even under those conditions I don't see anything resembling "faith". I don't have "faith" that the base assumptions are true, I only hold to those base assumptions so long as they are seem to better explain observation than other assumptions. That, to me, is pretty much the opposite of faith.

But if god wants to be a liar (and, for example, create a universe that only looks old but was actually created 97 minutes ago), it can't blame me for believing him. Also, it's an ass.
