This book is dedicated to science. Scientists are skeptical, we ask: "Is that idea correct? How can I test it?" Then we resolve to gather and analyze data until we show it isn't or it might be. If we cannot disprove the idea, it survives. No true scientist "believes in science" because he knows science is a process, a process we use to uncover the truth. One cannot have faith in science, but one can believe in the scientific process or method.
