    By "faith in science" I mean I have faith in the scientific method, which of
    course does not mean the same thing as faith in the religious, dogmatic
    sense.

    Sheesh, Harvey, I never said you should give up these things. No one, least
    of all me, suggests that you should go back to living in a cave and sleeping
    in your own excrement.

    or mine.
