Faith as a result of a flaw within science

Faith precedes science and thus cannot be a result of anything in science. All use of reason depends upon faith. How can you draw conclusions using logic without first putting your faith in some set of premises? Equating science versus religion with that of reason versus faith is nothing but complete nonsense.

This is not to say that there is no difference between the findings of science and the claims of religion. There most certainly is. By restricting itself to the honest tests of hypotheses and the objective results of written procedures which give the same result no matter what you want or believe, scientific findings provide a reasonable expectation that others should agree with those results.

But as we found in the other thread, going from this small epistemological superiority to excluding the possibility of nonscientific knowledge can only pull the rug out from science as well, for science does not hold itself up by its own bootstraps. It is impossible in an existence where all access to reality comes first through the subjective personal experience, and the objective is entirely an abstract construction.
