Nowhere in this thread do I claim that the existance of God is supported through empirical data. It is a question of faith. I believe he exists.
I will return to this thread after Mr. Kerry's speech.

You understand little of science if you think it is also not a system of faith... instead of..."theory" - a beleif in an idea which has yet to be proven is the foundation of any science. It's how we learn... it's a belief that is put forth and subject to the scrutiny of the scientific world. We knew atoms existed long before it could be proven. Just like black holes and a gazillion other things that exist on this planet and in the universe that we cannot see, touch, feel or smell.
Science can offer evidence to support its views. Religionists can only offer the bible, blind faith and circumstantial evidence all coupled with denial.
