That's just semantics.

I can see your point in saying science involves a certain amount of faith (i.e. you can't see a proton but it is thought to be there.) There is an enourmous gap in logic in your posts, however. Protons exist. They have been proven to exist. No, we can't see them. Yes, our systems of measuring such "invisible" things is inherently somewhat innacurate. Yes, our current theories of such things are not as refined as reality truly may be.

Okay... but then you use this as a defense for religion? Science may be a bit innacurate, therefore you can believe whatever you want and it's true? If you expect people to buy that, you're more arrogant than your posts suggest. Faith is not a blanket term used to describe any amount of guesswork. You can't use scientists and fundamentalists in the same sentence, it's ludicrous. (Yes, I just did, don't bother pointing that out.)

I'll post more on this later, but I have to go now, see you later tonight.
