Let’s say we agree.

Do you find this post more scientific or more religious?

Because I will agree with you if we can agree that the position being taken here is driven by treating science as a religion ( one they poorly understand ).

    The question itself isn't scientific or religious. And nobody in this thread is conducting science, but the majority of us here definitely trust the scientific method over faith.

    That's not to say we take scientific claims as gospel like theists do with theistic claims. Science is about updating our understanding as new evidence is presented. Religion is about being handed the truth.
