You don't even know if your mother is really your mother.

I submit that that would certainly be a beautiful expression of faith.

"The matter here is not one of faith vs science, but simply one of faith period."

Negative. I never said that Faith & Science were opposed to each other... I merely pointed out that --- BY DEFINITION --- Science cannot have an opinion on the Super Natural, as it is not a testable proposition. Science can only concern itself with the natural, testable world.

"Your so-called "science" simply causes you to have faith in godlessness and nothing else."

Negative again. Faith in a God, and belief in the objective rules of Logic, and the Scientific Method of testing, need not be mutually exclusive....

(By the way: I have NO IDEA what you mean when you say 'faith in godlessness'.... Such a formulation seems rather illogical.)

You're really quite amusing. Tell me, is your God capable of re-opening the scriptures and communicating directly with humans as he did to the judges and the prophets? If He did, could he not instruct you to kill the heathens, or your own children, as a test of your Faith?

Does George W. Bush share your beliefs?

The Mormons I cited earlier were as solid in their Faith as you are in yours. Even now, after years in prison.
