I'm not saying that with any "disrespect" towards science, as a matter of fact I LOVE science and all of its underlying concepts -
including it's fundamental precepts, for example that it's a faith-based perspective.

(i.m.o. many or even most people who work in science would agree with me, even if was with a little bit of a chuckle.)
