In a way, science IS a religion.
It accepts certain articles on faith...
That the universe can be understood through reason.
That the universe operates according to rules.
That the universe operates under a set of rules which can be determined through observation and experiment and that those rules cannot be derived through revelation and faith.
That the universe is consistent, that is, the rules don't change arbitrarily.
That the universe is non-anthropocentric, i.e., Man is not at the center of the cosmos and it was not created for his benefit.
F = ma and you can't push a rope.
Can anyone come up with any others?
