USG: Agreed. But the distinction I would like to make here, is this: Credulity is the belief in something in spite of the facts. Faith is taking 100% with you, based on the convincing fraction you can observe. (Kind of like getting on an airplane now days…) To say that 2+2=4 is the same as “God is the creator of the Universe.”… is dishonest. Because you are talking about two different things.

Science and philosophy(including different theologies) are equally powerful; schools today, especially in earlier grades, propose only science - which means students are only getting half of the necessary outlook. I could show you a great number of instances where philosophy is more significant than science.
