so back to my other point. is String Theory fact because it can be proven mathematically? or is it a faith and philosophy because it can't be tested? the worlds greatest minds are agressively working on String Theory and Unification Theory... are they doing so with complete scientific objectitivity? or because they believe they are close to linking quantum physics and newtonian physics together into one, simple formula that explains everything and believe in the outcome?
i believe that both religion and science require a great deal of faith (religion, more than science). the singluar difference between the two is that science will usually adjust its views based on whats discovered, regardless of the outcome, whereas religion usually cannot/doesn't.
