    The basis of your hypothetical, mono, is severely flawed.
    If this individual were left unmolested by any current belief system, faith or science based, it would simply come up with it's own to explain the things in it's world that it didn't understand out of hand. And you can bet your bottom dollar that this hypothetical dude would come up with a faith based system WAYYYY before ever saying "yay science, bitch!"
    And i believe you could call atheism a belief system, based on the fact that atheists are asserting something as fact (there is no god) that they cannot undeniably prove.
    And before yousay "then science would be a belief system", scientists cop to the fact that there are more things we don't know about our universe, from the micro to the macro, than things we do. True scientists are open to the fact that there is a possibility, however infinitesimally small, for any outcome. Including that there is an omnipotent being.
