Something that drives me crazy is when faith-based people claim that science is trying to disprove God. When the truth is actually the oposite. Everything that I've studied has shown that science is very much working towards proving the existence of God. The problem is the term "God" is so ambiguous and loose. It's just a word describing a mystery. A mystery that science is working towards solving. Sure, they may not discover the answers next week, next year, or the next thousand years...but does that mean they should just stop searching? No. The only way to get answers is to work through the mystery.
Another thing is when faith-based people say that Scientists or science-based people, "act like they have all the answers." Hmmm...I have not seen this evidence. Science works with probability and theories. Those two ideas are not definitive answers. They are processes in which a scientist uses to search for answers.
Now, from a faith-based person's perspective (someone who doesn't look for truth, but assumes they have it already) I can see where these people would get the impression that science-based people think they have all the answers. The majority of these faith-based people only see what the wanna see. Isn't that the definition of faith anyhow? That which they imagine to be true?
I am a spiritually/scientifically curious person. I have hope that there's something out there beyond myself or the world around me. However I do not believe it. In order to believe something, I would need proof. Proof equals Belief. Faith equals Hope.
