Actually, when I say something like that, what I mean is belief in the scientific METHOD. The method is the key. Observation, hypothesis, data collection, theory, TEST. Rinse, repeat. It's a method. And it WORKS. Belief in monsters and gods on a mountain top or magic didn't create the advanced technology we know today. If anything, those things HURT the progress of science and technology. Science brought us to the dance. Without science, we are little more than hairless apes.
