Science is the modern religion. You must have faith not only in the Science told to you, you must have faith that the religious leaders are faithful and wouldn't lead you astray.
The difference between religion and science is that with religion, you must believe what you're being told without any evidence or demonstrable test results, whereas with science, you can actually produce demonstrable results or produce mathematical proofs.
If you know that gravity causes acceleration of 9.81m/s², understand aerodynamics, thermodynamics, can measure air density, mass, and thrust, you can cause and object to freefall sideways around the planet. You can't do shit with religion but what you're told like good sheep.
evidence or demonstrable test results
There is, but it is unique and very personal to every individual.
Then it's not objective evidence. That's where faith has to come in. The layperson typically goes on faith as well when it comes to science, but with science, you are not completely restricted to this.
But you can do most science experiments at home to prove to yourself that they're correct, you can't do that with religious stuff.
In religion, we can all come to a consensus of what is right and wrong. Science is no different. For E=MC² but yet you need to have faith in the dark matter. For it is written.
