That is, without doubt, one of the most ridiculous claims I've ever heard made. Science is NOT religion. Religion relies on something that cannot be proven logically, namely, that God exists. Although there are strong arguments to suggest that he does, there are no logically conclusive arguments that guarantee that fact. I'm a religious man, but even I recognise this fact.
Science, on the other hand, relies on the scientific method. This method of experiment and testing accepts nothing without absolute proof and certainty. In fact, this is precisely why science cannot accept that God exists.
Arguing that science has not proven that the Earth is round is a losing battle. The fact is, it has. Since Aristotle, men have known this, and with the advent of space travel, we have seen it with our own eyes.
There is absolutely NO proof for the FE hypothesis. In trying to prove it, the amount of circumlocutions that one has to make are absolutely mind-boggling.
