Stu. Interestingly, many people with a bent towards superstition tend to use the word god to describe what we don't know.

I don't have an issue with that. The problem of course is their reluctance to give up the term once something has been sufficiently revealed.

I suppose a scientist can have faith. They just don't let it interfere with their professional judgement. Many doctors have religious faith but wouldn't resort to prayer where clinical intervention would be appropriate.

But the term creationist science is, as you and the rest of the rational end of the human race know, an oxymoron.
