Science is Faith

Or, at the least, entails faith.

"Science is only a metaphysical faith in the uniformity of Nature."

It's a label and a mindset like anything else is, but it is a more credible faith than religion as it does not require blind faith and, although on an individual level a blind faith in science may be found, science itself encourages skepticism and asks one to search for personal proof as it seeks to constantly improve on itself, for better or for worse.

It is also more credible in the sense that it promises nothing, and in the event that it becomes stringent and arrogantly close-minded (which can and has occurred), it is not inevitably tethered to any sort of tradition or dogma (or, at least, not unalterably), and it's entire consensual construct is alterable to the point that, under the right circumstances, it can be overhauled and rebuilt entirely, unlike religion or other fundamentalist ideas which root themselves unchangeably in the past, causing their outsides to be malleable, but leaving the inner core untouchable and locked behind the doors of some sort of perceptibly objective blind faith.
