What most people fail to realize is that science IS a religion, as are things like math. They are a set of beliefs which only possess the illusion of being real because that is what society accepts. There is nothing concrete in science, everything is built on faith, just like religion.

Horshit.

If you choose to "believe" that numbers have no meaning, and that physics is just an "aquired belief" that has no correspondence to reality, then your rocket to the moon is going to fly up your own ass instead.
