Of course one Believes in Science. One believes that the process of science can answer life's mysteries.
Jack, you've just stepped over the line. Saying that science is a belief system is bullshit. The only people who ever say that are religious folks who want everyone else to be on the same page they're on. No one who knows anything about science thinks it will solve any mysteries, except for the as yet unknowns about how are universe is put together physically. Get off it. You've certainly been in enough conversations on this topic to know how offensive you're being.
Science describes. Period. No belief involved. As someone in another thread said, saying that science is a belief system is like saying that my hobby is collecting stamps, even though I don't have a stamp collection and don't want one.
