Faith just fragments over time. Science has no sacred text. It is brutally challenged at all times. Faith has sacred texts - most thousands of years old. Challenging the texts themselves leads to rejection by the faith community, sometimes a violent rejection.

Science does not have saints. Scientists are respectful of the accomplishments of the past, but their greatest desire is overturning past models as new information becomes available or hypotheses are developed.
