science is a religion, Gary
Science posits that existence is structured in such a way that it can be labeled, and that those labels can be used to manipulate existence for mankind's benefit. Further, it posits that those labels are extensible.
These are acts of faith, not reason. There is no reason to posit apriori that scientific research will yield results, or that the results will be good for people, other than that it has worked the way in the past.
That some would see this structure as a gift from a Creator is certainly understandable. I my view, problems have often occured in the past when some people have ascribed some of their more self concerned ideas and desires to this Creator.
