Nope I'm honestly still confused here ...

We started down this track when you suggested that Atheists had more faith than religious people.

The two issues I'm grappling with are these ...

1) How do you quantify "faith" and so justify that stance. What exactly does "more faith" mean if you are measuring confidence-with-no-evidence vs confidence-with-no-evidence?

2) The specific example you cite is science. The problem there is the assumption that all practitioners of science are non-religious, but I'm not convinced that is true, nor am I convinced that those following the scientific methodology have faith (confidence with no evidence) in a specific outcome or conclusion, or faith that we can even come to a solution for something.

Feel free to comment further ... for now, I'm moving on, I've other stuff to get done, so I'll check back some other time.

Thanks for taking the time to chat a bit.
