The quote from 'Steven' in Nacho Libre, is a favorite of mine. (question below)
Scientific Method - A method of discovering knowledge about the natural world based in making falsifiable predictions (hypotheses), testing them empirically, and developing peer-reviewed theories that best explain the known data. (from wiki)
How can you argue that faith isn't required in science? Can you?

Hey, I agree with Kappalok, go figure. I guess there is hope for the future. Got to admit though, I would never waste money, or time, watching Nacho Libre. Faith, stops being faith, when there is empirical data supporting that it is indeed the truth.
There is evidence, at least enough for me, and I do have a degree in Physics, that God exists. It is not in any way that I can think of, able to reproduce by constructing experimntal means.
One might as well try to apply statisitics to determine the location and speed of an electron in its orbit. you can not have confidence in the data.
God exists, perhaps not in any way that completey conforms to any theology currently practiced on Earth. But he is there. His presence, his love is known to me, as I know it is to many others.

Science doesn't require faith in the supernatural. In fact, it cannot do so, since the supernatural lies totally outside the purview of science. Science does require confidence in the experimental data, so in that sense "believing" what you see. The same kind of belief that is involved when you add up some figures on a calculator and "believe" that the total is correct. I would hardly call that "faith".

Okay, I almost fell out my chair laughing when Nacho did that surprise face dunking baptism in the bowl.
But to answer your question - believing in anything (even that the sun will rise tomorrow) takes some faith.

It's not an arguement, it's a disagreement.:-) When people start thinking for themselves the truth gets discovered.

To quote the Bible... "Faith is evidence of things not seen."
Science relies on demonstrated evidence, observed through the five senses or mathematics.
No faith involved.

faith, by definition, requires a lack of evidence.
science, by definition, requires evidence.
That's the difference!!!

Science is observable and verifiable. Faith is not.

God created science.
