[MD] Science and Scientism

[markhsmit]

Hi Ian,
I wasn't meaning to insult, I was speaking generally of a
tendency in faith.  Perhaps faith is not the right word, because
I am not talking religious faith.  I have faith that the sun will come
up in the morning.  I have faith that I am here.  I have faith that
I was once a child.  I have faith that my thinking makes sense to me.
I have faith that if I apply a scientific approach, I will get a satisfactory
answer.  I do not know any of these things for sure, how could I?
Yet, I truly believe them.

Cheers,
Mark

[IG] Well then you mis-read me. The bad thing is for you to explicitly
state that science is ALL faith.

[IG] Keep your personal insults to yourself.
