    good luck defining where facts end and beliefs begin. ultimately science is a belief, even if it is evidence-based

              Faith and belief isn’t the same thing, no? Faith is something you have regardless of evidence.

              Anyway, the difference between them are that one is evidence-based on a scientific ground, which should be the only valid evidence, while the other isn’t.

                yes but you still have to have faith in the ability of another person to do science and not falsify evidence

                  That’s why science is peer reviewed and a different matter. You can also potentially fact check it yourself. But this is digressing from the point

                    but you can’t! are you personally able to verify the results of every scientific investigation ever performed? think about what’s currently happening in psychology. loads of old foundational studies have been found to be irreproducible. and yet people had faith that they were conducted honestly and appropriately
