Answer 4

Science...

"Is not belief" - a belief is your faith that something is true, without actual facts to support it. just like the existence of god is a belief of man. you can't see god, you can only have faith that he exists.

"But the will to find out" - because science is about discovering new things... to know how and why things work the way they do.

It means that that the point of science is not to simply believe something is true, such as religious people who beleive god is real, but to have the ill (the effort) to go out there and proove what's real or not and how things work by testing things and measuring things.
