Agreed. Science has taken the place of religion for many.

One important distinction, IMHO, is that science (certainly any credible scientist) does nor profess itself (themselves) as Truth.

To the scientific thinker, truths (small "t" here) must always be questioned and unknowns are just that, unknown.

Worthy of a reminder, many of the greatest scientistific minds were/are very religious people as all of you know. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Back to the debate...
