why do people think that science will prove everything and that it cant be wronge?

Science does not concern itself with religion, it can make no statements about it. \nScience proved much more useful than religion in inventing cars, computers, refrigerators, washing machines, and all those other gimmicks which I am sure you use a lot every day. Not to forget that I much rather go to a scientificly trained doctor than to a religiously trained priest if I am sick. \n\nFrom the general idea of your question I think that you don't understand science correctly. No scientist would claim oder has ever claimed that monkeys (at least you should say apes there) will evolve into humans, especially not in as short a time as 200 years. Maybe you should study science first (you can regard it as "know your enemy" if you like) and draw your conclusions afterwards.

Probably it is human nature to try to find an explanation for everything. Before the establishment of science the most simple explanation was that since things such as fire, lightning natural phenomena were beyond human abilities, they were the work of something superior-the gods. So I guess it is partly a remrant from those times\nAlso I think it is in human nature to believe in something superior, because it fuels hope. Finding "evidence" for the existence of such a power reassures you that your hope is not in vain.\n.

A theory COULD be true even if the experiment to prove it was flawed.  It simply isn't PROVED to be true until an UNflawed experiment proves it.

Because most people will believe what they personally CANNOT test. \n\ni.e. the "theory" of evolution :)

in a sense. all other scientists in a field act as a check on anyone making discoveries or statements. if something can be proven by multiple people doing independent research than it will become widely accepted as scientific fact. \nwith technology changing and advancing all the time, some stuff is still proven wrong after years believing it was true. there is nothing we can do about that because sometimes new technologies help us to see things we never saw before. we don't necessarily prove the first thing wrong (although that happens too) mostly we prove something to be true and then later prove that some other aspect is more true. \nit's complicated, but then again, it's science.

You already answered it with your question, it's a theory. There are a lot of theories but that don't make any of them right, science is constantly changing as they figure out whats wrong and right.\n\nThis is a wait and see thing but don't put any belief into it til science has figured out what is truth and what isn't or your going to be all screwed up with weird idea's.

People who believe in something think there is no wrong.

that is a good question and they do it because they think that if they say that they can then you will believe them and you wont make them actually prove it.\n              signed\n                 temptation

Atheists often say they have no faith, yet they put all of their faith in science, which has been later proven wrong at times.  In addition, aren't they just putting their faith in what somebody else says.  Have they seen the evidence for themselves?  Again, some of this "evidence" has even later proven to be wrong.\nWhat is especially puzzling is that many discoveries in science also backs up the possibility of creation.  I'm not suggesting that they have to become believers, but you'd think they would stop accusing us of being closed minded when their minds are already made up too.

As far as I can read it, people who say they "believe in science" are saying that they believe that the methods of science can be trusted to reveal as much about how the universe works as is possible.  One of the most important aspects of this is that they are claiming that naturalism is correct - the first paragraph of my first Wikipedia source link explains it well.\n\nReally, the reason why many atheists will say they "believe in science" is because they often encounter people who will say that science cannot test magic, or that science cannot test the Bible, or that scientists are conspiring to hide evidence of aliens or creationism or the nonexistence of global warming or ... well, you see what I mean.  Believing in science may not exclude the last of these (though given how many scientists from how many directions look at those subjects, any global conspiracy would be worse than impossible to maintain), but it does exclude saying that science is _fundamentally_ blind to certain phenomenon.  If I believe in science, then I believe that anything which can be noticed, anything _real_, can be seen and studied with the methods of science.\n\n\nI assume that "I believe in science" may sometimes appear in other contexts, too - in those cases, the speaker is probably explaining why she (or he) does not believe a particular probably-pseudoscientific claim.

It's the best scientifically tested explaination that we have.  Believe me, scientists aren't so eager to fall into line as you might think.  If someone could get recognition by scientifically disproving the theory of evolution to any great extent, it will be done.

Because they cant accept that they're way of thinking might be wrong.

Yes people that think they know everything will  always be caught out, as they can't possibly know everything.\n\nIf they have lots of preconcieved notions about  what things are then they will fail to truly see about things, but instead imposes fake mental constucts to understand the world.\n\nOnce you believe you know everything you would stop learning...

If Creationism was correct and science could definitively prove Creationism (and thus the existence of God), why would they not? That would be the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world. No one would pass that up to maintain the 'status quo'. There is no conspiracy to hide creation evidence. Anyone who knows real scientists knows they are glory-mongers first. They love to prove others wrong to enhance their own standing. And if any scientist could prove Creation/God, it would've been done a long time ago.

what is science if not the discovery (and then proof in terms of repeatable and consistent evidence) and explanation of what previously was not known and proved.\n\nImagine science hundreds of years ago.  Would not they think much of today's world as magic?  Would they believe a machine weighting hundreds of thousands of pounds of metal would fly based upon speed of air over part of the machine?  Would they not think getting part of the disease to prevent the disease as superstition?\n\nMaybe one day, we will know and understand many of the elements of the metaphysical, extrasensory world, paranormal, ghosts, etc. that are a mystery  today.  Then this would be part of science, not ghosts, supernatural or magic.

Not in the least! It's pseudoscience which has failed every test put to it. The fact that so many people believe in it doesn't mean it's true; what it does indicate is the miserable failure of science education around the world.

who says they cant for sure? maybe theyve never though of it. lol. unless its scientifically proven whose to say they cant for sure?
