>For instance most could quite trivially prove PV=nRT, but most just take someone else’s word on faith. No, that's not faith, not in a religious sense. People accept stuff like that because they believe that other people have followed all the proper procedures to prove this is true (within tolerance of error, etc.), and that they aren't making it up or lying for some reason, and most importantly, that it is independently reproducible and verifiable. Religious faith has no such element of verifiability. So this isn't "faith" at all.
