Extract: "...Christians have not always kept new year on January 1 -that was the Roman new year, and the Church was often very suspicious of it. Only in 1582 did Pope Gregory XIII's reform of the calendar mean that January 1 was generally adopted.

Taking Science on Faith
Submitted by bill on Sun, 12/09/2007 - 09:31. Culture & Society faith paul davies philosophy religion scienceThere has been some discussion around the net over Paul Davies op-ed piece in the New York Times titled Taking Science on Faith. As you might imagine, believers like it, and non-believers don't. This paragraph contains the flammable claim that science too, requires faith.
The problem with this neat separation into “non-overlapping magisteria,” [that science is based on testable hypotheses and religion is based on faith] as Stephen Jay Gould described science and religion, is that science has its own faith-based belief system. All science proceeds on the assumption that nature is ordered in a rational and intelligible way. You couldn’t be a scientist if you thought the universe was a meaningless jumble of odds and ends haphazardly juxtaposed. When physicists probe to a deeper level of subatomic structure, or astronomers extend the reach of their instruments, they expect to encounter additional elegant mathematical order. And so far this faith has been justified.1
This claim, that science has its own faith-based system, is comforting or vindicating to religious believers, and something close to anathema to Atheists and probably some Agnostics.
