"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
For my Atheist friends, a kind reminder of the basic assumptions of science, no different than the leap of faith to believe in God.

This is not meant to stir trouble, just to negate the debate because both sides have faith in something

A worthwhile read, but the following makes no sense:
"Neutral Science is a term coined to describe a science where there is no materialistic, physical or other implicit or explicit belief system at the root of explanations for observations."
Explanation of observations without basis in any belief system whatsoever is impossible. Simply making coherent sense of what you see requires beliefs that you ultimately can't confirm.
