I agree that Science may be thought of as a religion.  Science offers a believe to its followers - the belief that Truth is out there, just waiting to be sought after.  Like religious questions, many scientific questions can never be answered or truly proven, yet they still spur thought an discussion despite their never-ending qualities.  Science also offers a way of life.  To be a scientist is to be constantly questioning, never accepting anything at face value, and to use these skills (among others) to determine Truth and Knowledge.  Both scientists and followers of religion say the other is afraid.  Scientists say religious people are afraid of reality and the cold hard truth, while believers say that scientists are afraid to look beyond facts and into the unknown.  Although there is often a break between scientific findings and G-d, perhaps once examined further (maybe in a more scientific manner) they have many of the same properties.
