    Neither. Reason is, to some extent, a faith.

        I see what your saying, but your wrong lol.

        Science admits it dosent have all the answers, what it dosent have it shows-you dont put faith in some made up answer for those questions, you simply take it as an uknown to be discovered.

            Actually science does have faith - it has faith that the laws of nature are immutable. For example that which is true today was true yesterday and will be true tomorrow.

              Vivent la raison!

              For example that which is true today was true yesterday and will be true tomorrow.

              Feel free to cite examples of mutability.

                It dosent say the laws of nature are immutable, it says according to current evidence, the laws of nature are immutable, if however evidence is found to be to the contrary, then that would be brought into consideration and studied.

                  The whole foundation of physics requires things to remain the same. All theories are meaningless if they (the laws of nature not the theories describing them) change from one moment to another.

                    Reason.

                    Reason Reason Reason Reason Reason.


                    Worked A LOT better than faith, so far.

                        They are not meaningless, but some are shown to be more likley to be true, and others false.

                            wrong big crunch, science already thinks that the speed of light has changed over time. so there goes that. science hsa no faith. it has postulates if u wna go there.

                            it is willing to go in whichever direction that works.

                              The speed of light isn't a law of nature.
