text: Why must these discussions always devolve to semantics? 
  
  You have faith, and therefore you assume that since you do that everyone must have faith in 'something'.  Science is a toolset, not a religion.  I don't have 'faith' in a screwdriver.     I have used a screwdriver before and it worked.  I don't need faith to consider that perhaps it might be useful again in the future.  (though by your definition it appears we can stretch my trust that the next time I use a screwdriver it will actually work as it has in the past as a sort of 'religious conviction') I don't have faith in science, I just recognize that it is a useful tool.
  
  Consider perhaps that some individuals do not place complete trust in anything but instead have open minds and are willing to consider anything?
