There is no proof for this claim, therefore no reason to believe this

First of all, nobody puts faith in science. Science is in no way based on faith. Please don't say that it is because if you do i fear i will be banned for all the things i will be forced to call you. Science is based on rigorous testing, evaluations and peer review

While I have a lot of time for Dawkins, I do have one problem with him, and it's the same problem I have with erc500's statement. Belief in science is based on faith. Ultimately every belief and belief system is fundamentally based on faith. In every belief there are assumptions which are deniable. Science takes a naive approach to the universe that assumes rationality, consistency and transparency are true. So, yes it is rational to believe science, yet belief in a rational system itself because it's rational is a circular argument. To believe in rationality,thus science, is ultimately a leap of faith.

So personally, while I agree with nearly everything Dawkins says, he's philosophically wrong if he thinks he's definitely right.

Science is not based on faith. When a scientist thinks something to be true they have a hypothesis. They then test this hypothesis and develop a theory based on the results of the tests which may or may not agree with the original hypothesis. They then repeat the experiments to verify their theory. Once they have thoroughly tested the theory and are satisfied that it is correct they allow it to be reviewed and tested by their peers in the scientific community. If the theory holds up under these tests then it becomes accepted as correct. None of these steps are based on faith.

Scientist never claim to be deffinitely right. They only ever claim to be correct given all that is currently known and only if something has been repeateadly verified by different people.

Scientists don't believe in "science", it is not some deity or belief system, it is a means to an end, that end being a greater understanding of the universe.

I only watched a little of it since I have heard it all before. There was a time when I would fight with him but I have grown to just say "forget it", since it's just a load of crap. He's not my problem, he's God's problem. All I will stay though is that he's such a fool since he plays the same card every time that he's a scientist and because he's a scientist he's some kind of greatguru for that. Putting faith in science is stupid since the last time I checked the world isn't flat like science used to sayit was & also I'm yet to hear someone beat the big bang theory.

It wasnt just "science" that claimed the world was flat, it was religious leaders as well. When they worked out that the world was infact round scientists were prosecuted by the church for blasphemy and it wasnt until many years later that the church accepted it was wrong.

What do you mean by beat the big ban theory?

Nope, not even close

Any one who says uniforms suppress their individuality obviously doesnt have much of an individualpersonality if it is based on what they wear.
