@Romaq Sorry, i guess that was a pretty random analogy.

Sorry, I don't even know what I am writing, I've got 4 monitors open writing a stupid research paper, and I'm in the zone.

@Romaq Let me try and find a concise explanation somewhere. It's a long story, but most of the facts of it don't matter to the situation, just the ones I mentioned.

@Romaq

I see him more like Jackson and his opposition as Lawrence. They are constantly misfiring, and he just goes about his day. Eventually, like Lawrence they will be deemed insane and institutionalized.

@Romaq my only criticism is that he is too nice, welcoming, and accomodating. F&*^+ng boy scout. @freemo

I heard a great example of science as a faith argument, from none other than Michio Kaku: Science tells us that the sun is made of hydrogen, but can we really prove it? We can make observations an conclude that it is. But has anyone ever been to the sun and collect material from the sun? No, we still take our conclusions on faith. (paraphrase)
Sean Carroll in one of his books says to test any scientists convictions, ask them after they make a statement as fact to prove it. If they say they have lot of data to support it, then they are sincere as a scientist, if they say that their data "proves" it as fact, then they are religious in their science. (paraphrase)

Everything is based off of a little faith. I believe the use of logic and logical deduction is the least so, but I guess that to is based on some amount of faith.
