A question for Opti:
Were your parents like this? Stubbornly and intolerably set in their beliefs for no other reason than because they thought they should be?
Yes, my parents were "like this". They were (one still is) Methodist Christians. My dad, formerly, as I convinced him otherwise.
Science is not faith. This man fails, miserably. Science is something completely different from religion. One bases statements on empirical evidence. The other, faith.
Example: faith in gravity. Gravity demonstrates itself in tangible form; thus, a trusting sentiment can be applied to it. God on the other hand -- no.
The point: there are/have been thousands upon thousands (millions most likely) of religions. You can't validate one over another via the means any religion substantiates its truth claim. Religion is ambiguous. All religion. Thus, pointless in my opinion.
