Science is not a religion. In classical belief systems, you accept without question. But science is based on experimentation and observation. Scientists are questioning. Scientific theories develop over time. But belief systems are not changed.
Science != Religion
I agree with you on part of science. Science is facts and hard evidance, so in sciend there is eithar truth or false answer. But religion is not blind belief, for some people that is. There are those who choose to be blind. But there is also questioning in religion, there is diferent understanding of same sentence. Religion is not something that you need to believe blindly, well that is what I think.
Sounds like belief in science theory. Science theory is something that is not known to be factual. Yet there is usually some fact behind it or within it somewhere. When someone believes that the theory is fact, in the face of not knowing it to be fact, and especially if he is adamant in expressing his "faith," he has a religion going for himself.
Ok I think I understand where you get the idea that science is religion.
Most scientists reject religions. That is the only characteristic that is similar to a religion. As most religions do not accept other religions.
There is no belief in the theories as you say. The position is that based on the physical evidence, scientists theorize how the world might work. Those theories can be right or wrong. There are many theories that were wrong in the past and I am sure some of the present theories will be proven wrong.
If you want to call science a religion, I have no problem with that just make sure to call it religion of reason or rational religion. And call all other religions religions of delusion or delusional religions.
A big difference.
Either way I am not sure why would someone want to call science a religion. The scientific world view is not based on fiction. Religious one is.
Many scientists might SAY that they reject religion, but all you need to do is go through this NASA website to see that they don't -
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html. The simple thing that you can look for is all the links where they talk about big bang like it is fact. Since they don't know it is fact, they are making/have made a religion of believing in it.
Look at how long people have talked about the theory of relativity as though it were fact. We still don't know that it is fact, but people have talked for decades as though it is. This includes multitudes of scientists.
Science is a religion in the sense that many people are treating it that way.
Pure science is made up of facts. The FACT about science theories is that they are not known to be factual. But when we treat them as though they are factual, and when we live like they are factual, we have made a big religion out of science.
Because of all this, the scientific world view is based on fiction. It is a religious world view.
they really believed on faith too.
