Yes, seriously. Faith and science are opposites. Science requires actual observations, questioning, testing and verifying results, embracing falsification.....faith on the other hand involves believing what is written in old scrolls by people who had a far poorer understanding of the world and its place in the Cosmos.

No, nothing like the same. Not even close.


I will note again, that you are using your own self serving definition of “faith.”

No, I am not. You first note and your every 'note' following is a poor rationale in defense of faith: just as it is defined in the dictionary in relation to religion and in Hebrews (a self justifying belief).

We have gone over it multiple times. You were wrong the first time and wrong every time you offered your flawed rationale.

Holy Smokes....something is believed, Be it Christian theology or what is written in the Quran, GIta or whatever.....as there is no evidence to support extraordinary supernatural claims, these beliefs are a matter of faith....they are believed on faith/

Which is why a religion is called a faith.

No, that's you. You keep insisting on things that have been debunked over and over, you do it regardless of any evidence or explanation.
