  By definition, or rather idealy, science is not a religion. 'Religion' can be defined as:
  
  "A set of beleifs that attempts to connect humanity to spirituality"
  
  Science on the other hand is just objective knowledge.
  
  It is easy stated than done. A real coffee time is how do we obtain this objective knowledge. It is here where 'scientific method comes' in. Because scientific method is a method ultimately done by a fallible human being, science can never fail to have its own shortcommings. It is here where science can ultimately bear the hallmark of a religion.
  
  Science has realy never been done as simply observation and deductions. If it were so, indead it could stear away from religion. Modern scientist simply doesn't do that. He rather begines by making an hypothesis based on how he thinks the universe works!! This was clearly done by Darwin, Einstein, String theorists, Inflation theorists, Supersymmetry theorists etc. Our guy then DEDUCE the inevitable consequences of his theory, (which he calls it by a fancy name, 'prediction') then goes out to look for evidences that matches the prediction, phew!
  
  You gotta be able to smell from far that this method is 100% identical to 'religion'!! Our scientist is gonna use the prediction to INFERE that his otherwise unobservable factors are infact true. But what is the difference btwn this and a theory of god?? The example of unobservable factors are:
  
  i)The extreemly slow evolution
  ii)Field
  iii)wavefunction
  iv)fundamental particles
  v)curved spacetime
  vi)Dark matter
  vii)Fourth dimension
  viii)26 dimensions
  ix)Big bang
  x)Black holes
  xi)inflation
  
  the list is endles. Ergo in this sense science IS a religion!!

  Darkstar 1,
  
  Thanks for understanding this subtle fact. Science have ended up claiming that they can chew buble gum and yet you smell croundnuts.
  
  "A scientific claim is not to be taken by faith but must be open to questioning and critizisism"
  
  But what does it mean to talk of a last man standing battle when only a single guy is allowed in the ring??
  
  TRUE SCIENCE
  
  It must train students to learn how to reason for themselves. To know how to seive sense from nonsense. Or in short, to become the true scientists that they are preaching about. But only the church, as in Jehovah witness, fear to bring the magazine of say the Seventh Day Adventist to their church. This unambiguously shove the chameleon of science squarely under the folder of religion.

  Yes, science ITSELF is a religion.
