Science* isn’t something you “believe” in.

Science is something you think in.

There is a huge difference between belief and knowledge.

*Science is answering questions by measuring observations in a manner that is repeatable.

@MelodyWainscott Curious why you wrote that "quietly". Seems like something a lot of people could usefully learn.

@MelodyWainscott in the end you still have to believe that the method you used was proper
Because you have a logical construct around your belief doesn't mean it's not believing
I guess I see the big difference in what fuel the belief, more than if it's belief at all or not
