Quote by Tryon Edwards
Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws -- a thing which can never be demonstrated.
Summary
This quote highlights that while some might view science and faith as incompatible, science itself is founded on a certain level of faith. This faith is rooted in the assumption that natural laws are both permanent and uniform, even though this cannot ever be proven. In other words, the study of science builds upon the belief that there is a consistent and unchanging order in the natural world, regardless of whether one approaches it from a religious or non-religious perspective.
