Is Science a Religion?

"Is science a religion?" is a mistaken question, something like "Is an automobile a horse?" I think only religious people would ask if science is a religion. That's because they operate out of their bicameral minds and everthing to them is religious in one way or another. Science, however, is an enterprize of consciousness, whereby the bicameral mind can be seen for what it is. In this respect science is an anti-religion; it differentiates faith from fact.”Hoot Mon
