You could at least be consistent about it. If you oppose intervention (as I do) then you need to condemn Obama's intervention in Libya. If you support humanitarian intervention then you can't very well condemn GWB for deposing Saddam.
Intervention is a tool in a toolbox. Would you say, "I oppose using hammers in any context. It is better to use a saw at all times."?
So we trust science because it works. Except, we're currently facing a financial crisis, ecological crisis, geological crisis, education crisis, and family crisis. Poverty is rife, the earth is quaking, animals are dying, children aren't learning, divorce is higher than ever, and country after country is rioting against its government.
Religion isn't the answer, but science isn't proven by any means. Einstein said "science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind". I don't really agree with him as I'm not a religious person, but who knows, maybe he was right. He was a pretty smart dude.
