Do you like driving? Then you better hope thermodynamics is more accurate than what the cavemen had. And forget air conditioning. And computers. And just about everything else that the cavemen didn't have but we do.

Science doesn't claim to be the truth. It's just a method for rejecting or accepting theories that seem to match well with what we observe in nature. Nothing more, nothing less. And scientific thinking, whether absolutely constrained by the rigorous scientific method or not, produced every single useful tool man has ever used. And that includes chipped stones.

Why does a forum about the existence of God keep coming back to science? Faith and science can never have anything to do with each other, because science's lack of faith is what makes it science.

Ramble ramble ramble.
