From the earliest days of mankind, we have worshipped the unknown as gods: The sun, planets and stars. Fire.  Thunder. Lightning.  Birds, serpents and other forms of life unlike man.  When science came along, giving us explanations (or at least theories) for the things we did not understand, many began to worship science.  Yet science changes constantly and what was accepted as scientific fact yesterday is often disproven or cast into disfavor tomorrow.  Thus having faith that the science of today provides all the answers and will be able to solve all problems is the same as worshipping false gods.  Nuclear waste, synthetic drugs and modern cancer therapy are three good examples of where science has been far less than godlike.
