Doubt is the lack of faith!
I am not sure I commented on this. It might be the heart of the matter.
Science is only doubt. But as Descartes saw, we cannot doubt of
everything, and so, we do trust something. The more we are able to
doubt, the more we can see what remains undoubtable, and faith can
build on that.
So, those who have the faith have no problem doubting any theories,
texts, etc. The faith rises from within, and is definitely beyond
words, texts, theories, equations, etc.
The universal machines are confronted to something similar when they
introspect themselves (in the sense of Kleene second recursion
diagonal way).
In front of the absolute truth, science can only augment the doubt,
but without ever needing to abandon faith.
It is the faith in the ineffable which invites the doubt on *all* the
fables.
