Ok wait. A scientist often accepts conclusions from peer reviewed sources without developing empirical data correct?

And, in fact, scientists recognize the gap between what they perceive as data and objective reality, right???

And, in fact, with our imperfect senses in mind, empirical data isn't really that good after all, is it?

So explain to me again how scientists don't have complete trust and/or confidence in not only the data gathered by other scientists, but their very own results. Please.

Nice try quoting half of the definition....
"2. Strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof:" As the scientific method only applies to definition 1, we can agree that 'faith' in science and 'faith in religion' are indeed two different things linked only by semantics.

Also, I pointed out the uncertain nature of our own perception and sense-data previously. As this applies to everything we know, it is hardly a reason for equating the two things.
