Yes, quantum mechanics is science. No, the MWI is not science, it has no effect on any empirical predictions. It's a conceptual framework that tries to make sense of the mathematics. It's interesting, but it's not established science. And I'm wondering where you pulled that 60% from..
If I tell you that objects fall to the earth when you drop them, you can go and test that for yourself. If Ratzinger tells you that a personal god exists who has an interest in your life, it's a bit murkier.. So in that sense, the level of faith required is fundamentally different.
Well that's how it seems to me, but hey, I could be wrong..
