Magnets do not work through science. We know how they work through science. They work through generating an magnetic field.
This is a tautology if I have ever seen one. Actually magnetism is a relativistic effect of electrostatics. Billions and billions of electrons traveling along a wire with a net current experience a lorentz contraction. The contraction is small, but because there are billions and billions of them, the effect adds up. Hence it appears as if the electron density in the wire has increased for someone at rest. Hence an excess of electrons repels or attracts an object with a an excess or neutral density of electrons.

You have just proved my point.
Science is about admitting you could be wrong, but believing you are right (based on evidence or searching for that evidence).
That's the difference between science and religion: science can be proven wrong.
Absolutely. It is my opinion that people here take the word of 'scientist' with too much authority, and never really question what they are saying, much less bother to understand what they are saying. The ./ user feels that "Science is Science and is always right, if you disagree you are a fag." In this sense it is analogous to a dogma.
I was debating an avowed atheist a few years ago. He claimed that scientist could see electrons. It didn't matter that electrons are point charges, and the wavelength of visible light is much much larger than the diameter of an electron. Apparently 'Scientist' have amazing eyes that work on principals that can only be described as godlike. If he would have said that electrons are a logical construct based on best available evidence, I would have agreed with him. But he really believes that scientist can see electrons. He also feels smug and superior to anyone who does not believe in 'science'.
Religion isn't the enemy of science. Science isn't the enemy of religion. Both try to explain the world. Religious people just see the universe as a majestic creation deserving awe, wonder and further study.
I just take fault with people on both sides to whom the universe is a closed book.
