That's why I have "faith"

... and I have knowledge, evidence, and facts. But I know you don't even care about that - so be it. However, you are doing the millions of religious folk a HUGE disservice by equating bold pig ignorance with "faith." To somehow twist the entire body of biology (and astronomy and geology, to name a few) to fit your "faith" in a book orally passed on and then written by uneducated nomadic shepherds 2000 or so years ago leads me to believe that this "faith" think you speak of should be avoided at all costs.

No, you accused me of believing in only what I could see. I took the Kierkegaardian leap of faith -- just as you do with Evo belief, btw.

"faith think" = faith thing. but in retrospect, "faith think" has some interesting Neo-Orwellian fundamentalist ring to it.

Actually, the writings of the "uneducated nomadic shepherds 2000 or so years ago" proved to be pretty accurate according to the Dead Sea Scrolls.

And Paul, formerly Saul, was educated in the Pharisaical tradition of Roman and Greek rhetoric, btw. But intellect does not lead to faith, as Saul found out on the Damascus Road one blindingly bright day.
