Interesting split between religion and science. I've always felt to a certain extent science is a "faith" of sorts, largely for the "we could be wrong" part of your definition. So many scientific theories have fallen over the centuries that, to have any belief that our current theories won't do the same is an act of faiith. Conversely, few genuinely religious people will claim a perfect knowledge of god, but their faith leads them to strive towards that goal.
Right behind you on the two ugly sisters of faith. Even when trying to persuade people to your view (and this extends outside religion as well) you should always respect their right to not agree with you.
Back on the topic, this seems a good time to offer a sneak preview of a futuer NNN that could have been written for this very thread.
Number 41
Nothing New
The torches they are all unlit, not one of them aflame
And every thread I look at, the content is just the same
It may just be that no-one has got anything to say
Or perhaps I shouldn’t sit here 24 hours of the day

Cold Topic
A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
