Well, Donuel, science is the greatest of the almighty struggles of the human mind. There are good premises, bad premises, good logic predicated on bad premises and bad logic predicated on good premises (and better and worse). A search for truth that is only asymptotically attainable. In comparison, religion is a walk in the park. The answers are so obvious, so simple and so truthful - if you're of a certain mind. The simple certainties trump the mental struggle every time. It's up to rational people to decide which approach is the more honest, the wide open straight path to nirvana, or the road less travelled that will put sharp gravel in your shoe with every step.

Incidentally, I prefer "laws of nature" to "laws of science." The first caveperson to look up at the moon and try to make sense of it was doing science just as much as Einstein was doing science, even though that person had no laws to guide them.
