An alternate look at Naturalism

Trust.

Trust in the currently unknown.  Sounds like a pretty good definition of faith.

Its staggering that you simply can not be gracious enough to acknowledge the obvious similarity.  It weakens your stance Steve, whether that is something you care about or not.  It weakens it because it is disingenuous. Its the same behavior I've watched in Dawkins and Krauss.

Wouldn't it be more intellectually honest to say something like, "Yes, I guess it is faith after a sort.  I don't see it as the same type of faith folks have in religion because science has been so valuable and effective in providing insight into the world around us.  However, in terms of things science can't yet explain or prove, to the degree I think science ultimately will explain something.... that is faith, yes."
