The existence of external and inner world

What is scientific faith based on?

Now I want to tell you the mechanism of its origin.

Scientific faith is based on a set of unprovable philosophical presuppositions about reality.

Scientific faiths trust that the laws of physics and natural processes are constant across time and space, meaning what happens in a lab today worked the same way in the distant past and applies across the observable universe.

Why?

Science assumes that repeating consistent observations and testing hypotheses allows us to make valid, generalized predictions about future. 

This is partly true. It does not solve fundamental problems, such as where do we come from and where are we going?

Who foists the lie on modern materialists and monists that there's nothing eternal, that the soul is contained in the physical body and ends with it. 

Scientific faiths can approach men because of their fear. 

According to Rudolf Steiner It's not too bad if it's only normal fear of which a man can easily become aware. But it's worse if the fear is slumbering in subconscious depths. Such a man falls prey to the power, what we can call Ahriman or Mephisto.

That's why he foists the lie on modern materialists and monists that there's nothing eternal, that the soul is contained in the physical body and ends with it. 

This fear is in adherents of materialistic science, although they wouldn't believe it if you told them, and it's in all people who have no relation to the high spiritual world.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is quite right when he lets Mephisto say that simple folk never sense the devil's presence, even if he has them by the throat.The Meaning in Goethe's FaustInvisible Influence: Mephistopheles operates subtly in human life. 

He does not always appear as a terrifying monster from old legends.Human Blindness: People fail to recognize destructive, cynical, or materialistic forces when these forces disguise themselves as modern ideas, routine, or intellectual progress.

Goethe is quite right when he lets Mephisto say: 

"Simple folk never sense the devil's presence, even if his hands are on their throats. "

"If one goes to a laboratory where many people are working one soon sees how impregnated their etheric bodies are with Ahriman", said Steiner.

A clairvoyant sees the very same forms there that he sees in the etheric body of someone who's filled with fear. If a man passes a mirror he sees his image, that however can only be there because the man is there.
