Philosophy of Science Part 1
I'm planning on posting more about science, the scientific method, science's relationship to truth, and other topics about the philosophy of science, but more research is required, first. However, in the meantime, let me give you this excellent quote from Fester Chugabrew from FR on the relationship between faith and science:

Fester's Reply:
Previous comment:
One system requires no proof and accepts things on faith [regarding faith]. The other system accepts nothing on faith and requires proof for all it's beliefs [regarding science].
Fester's Reply:
My understanding of good science it that it is not only able to make use of inference, conjecture, and leaps of faith, but must do so in order to reach out into the unknown. My understanding of faith is that is rests on evidence and is not merely a fabrication of the imagination.
