If you blacked out science would it survive?
Even if religion didn't survive after a blackout that doesn't indicate a lack of basis as much as it does just how open people are to influence (since they would just blindly accept whatever took religion's place).
For this matter, is most people's faith in science honestly based around their own understanding or are they simply taking somebody's word for it? Would this mean that science is just as much without basis as religion since it is passed down through others?
Let people have their faith. It's no different than you wishing to retain your own belief in science. For the record, science is only "provable" by the laws of science, it's self-fulfilling, in the same manner as any other form of "logic". However, it only makes sense if you accept its underlying premises, much in the same manner that religion only makes sense if you accept the notion of supernatural factors.
How do you breathe again?
