Science is based on the tautology 1=1, yet science is incapable of proving 1.
Science is a human endeavor and incapable of absolute perception (there are no absolute measurements in science)...therefore all scientific belief is, in fact, on the basis of faith (trust that the belief is true).
Science is conditional truth, not truth. Every scientific "truth" or "fact" (i.e. f = ma) is based on the assumption of conditions that can never be fully known, understood, or delineated.
Therefore, faith and science are not antonyms; science is merely faith applied.
Neither are truth and faith antonyms, as all truth (or "facts") must be accepted by faith (trust that the belief is true).
I know this recognition is unacceptable to people desiring a quick dismissal of "all things religious," but exactly how is science not based on faith?
Prove that science is truth.
(And the pure sophistry that "science is about fact, not truth" can only be uttered by blithering idiots.)
