No!, No!, No! Science Is NOT Based On Faith

 Two rebuttals to the repetition of the old canard that science is also based on faith:

"There’s a difference between searching for confirmation and searching for truth; religion does the former, science the latter. If Emerson can give us evidence—and not just from the Bible—that 'God became man', then I might take his truth claims seriously. Absent that, we need accept his verities no more than we accept those of Scientology, Mormonism, or, for that matter, Beowulf."

Another misguided believer claims that science is based on faith

"To be willing to make this statement is to deliberately misunderstand what the enterprise of science is, and how it fundamentally differs from any theological conclusion one could ever reach."

No, science is not faith-based, no matter what the Wall Street Journal says.
