  In science, we have this wonderful concept, called "evidence".
Observation generates evidence; faith does not.  In fact, faith is an
invitation to self-delusion, since it consists mainly in the false inference
that the apparent strength and clarity of a perception or belief is an
indication of the accuracy of its relation to reality, which is a total
non-sequitur.
