Mistake 1: Faith has nothing to do with reason. Reason is based on empirical evidence whereas faith is based on sentiments of emotion and subjective experiences.
Reason without faith is like cutting off a branch you are sitting on. Faith and reason are not the same but are both necessary in learning Truth. If I believe science will teach me all truth, then my faith is based on sentiment, because science itself, can not and will not, ever prove anything, all science can do is provide evidence for further investigation. Evenmore, how would one know if science has revealed all truth? In order to even ask a question one has to believe in something, for example, how can I say God doesn't exist if I don't believe in his non-existence? In order to prove or disprove something, both possibilities have to be explored. Science and Religion both start with accepted truths in order to build reasonable explanations about creation and the Creator respectively. Proponents of science rather than religion are inevitably making science a religion, replacing God and Natural Laws with the Universe and Newton's Laws.
