If you believe in science you're doing it wrong

To equate a way to describe the natural world through objective means with simply inserting one’s own opinion in the gaps of our knowledge and chalk both up to belief is an absurd assertion that can only be made by people who don’t understand the nature of science and can’t wrap their minds around the fact that it’s simply a >methodology by which people accumulate and connect facts, not a set of answers to questions or ready made opinions.

An atheist explains why believing in science is ludicrous without seeing the cognitive dissonance. I don’t agree with his position on the origin of life at all, but he makes a very good point about science simply being a way to describe reality and not something to believe in. Unfortunately he makes the leap of equating unprovable cosmology with describing reality. Atheist, thy name is irony.
