Do you think scientists accept any random person's word on the matters
in question? Or perhaps do they have good reason, like the other person
is educated and has published in a peer reviewed journal? If they believe
whatever is in black & white, then I would call it faith. Otherwise it most
certainly is not.
I'm starting to get the impression that I'm the only one around here that
has a scientist's perspective on faith (as described in, say, Carl Sagan's
excellent "The Demon Haunted World"). Is it just me and Carl vs. the
world?
