On Science vs Faith
The thing I love about science is that it does NOT try to tell you the “truth”. Hundreds of thousands of people over the last few hundred years have studied the world, asking questions, coming to conclusions, and having those conclusions challenged not just by peers but through future generations.
The fact that the Theory of Evolution is called a theory doesn’t make it more suspect than something else – it is an honest assertion that describes what we have learned through studying the world, SUBJECT TO CHANGE through other tests and experiments, or even through a change in perspective that more perfectly encompasses those results.
The biggest PR problem that Science has is that people keep comparing it to Faith, as if it were impossible for me to do my own experiments, my own studying of our physical world, and come to my own conclusions based on my own eyes and ears.
Just because I choose to trust vetted, argued-over conclusions by scientists as the best answers we have RIGHT NOW with the facts AT HAND does not equate my understanding of science with faith. Because faith implies truth, and science is not about what is true, only about what we think is true.
I’d like to officially propose that it be called the Hypothesis of God, as as far as I know no formal experimentation has been conducted.

The phrase “The God Hypothesis” is very common in debunking.
