In my mind the reason science somewhat falls into belief category, its the idea that we are able to perceive all the variables. What if there is a who plane of consideration we are missing that could solve problems?
In some culture's 'science' there is a level on which people's way of knowing is based on things western science can't figure out. Like abilities to know which plants to use for certain problems and other unexplained things that seem odd to those who don't process that level of experiencing. 6 senses are odd to these people.
How does that fit into what you are talking about? These are just my thoughts on science and how it too should be taken as our up to date knowing of ourselves, and not fact through and through. Moses thought he knew how the world was created so he wrote about it....things have changed in human ways of knowing for better and worse. The balance and open heart hopefully will prevail and there can be a vague marriage of the two. As modern western science has proven things people in other parts of the world have known for centuries. Buddha's talks about 'indra's net' and all life reflecting itself is very Quantum sounding in relation to matter,if you ask me.
