All of you who bring up the ideas that the world was once thought to be flat and the sun was once thought to orbit the earth fail to mention that science was responsible for those theories. Science eventually corrected itself, but i think you need to examine that before you place science above spirituality because science is less faith based. How many of you have actually seen an atom with your own eyes? How many of you have actually personally verified the speed of light? What do you do, just take the word of science as gospel? Sounds like an act of faith to me.

I trust in science
because it questions itself and seeks to disprove itself. Without that approach it scientific advance would remain at a stand still...much like religion which
refuses to question itself or seek answers.
I do not need to see an atom itself if I can see quantifiable tests that demonstrate it is real. I also see the results. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the electricity lighting your home, etc.
