BTW fuck religion. For the most part I think all people can be said to be crazy, and rightly so.

Saying that science is faith-based because everything humans do is faith-based... I find that uninteresting and uncritical, because I basically think it amounts to solipsism (or at least acknowledging that solipsism is a serious and valid outlook/philosophy, which is bollocks of course). Who cares if, yes okay, we can 'never actually know what is true'? Is this a useful or helpful statement in any way?

If it's ture then it's true. It may be uninteresting and uncritical because it's obviously true. It's always useful and helpful to try and deal with what we believe to be the case.
