Jamie,

I think you received in 2000 my draft of my 
Science-Religion, the one upon which Russell Standish
replied all in capital letters: Don't you dare call my
science a religion! Maybe it was too long ago.
I believe it is still readable at:
http://pages.prodigy.net/jamikes/SciRelMay00.html 
showing the elements of 'faith' in one's scientific
'belief' as well.
