Science isn't yours, but that doesn't stop you.
I hope you read your students' papers more closely than you read my posts
Certainly, but then my students' papers are generally better written.
Your faulty conclusion lies in the thing you imagine to be faith. Faith to you materialists seems to be the mere antithesis of fact.
As someone who was baptized and brought up Catholic, I am quite aware of what faith is. Faith is... the evidence of things not seen. If there were proof of God at any level, faith would be unnecessary; mere open-mindedness would be enough. Yet Martin Luther didn't seem to put the same stress on open-mindedness, did he?
If that is faith, then you believe in gravity by faith. You believe in the wind by faith. You believe in black holes, subatomic particles, dark matter and dark energy by faith. You see the results but not the thing causing the results. In the same way, the universe is the result, but you refuse to believe in the Cause of the result even though there is no credible alternate explanation. Does science say there is no cause for gravity? Does it claim the trees move by themselves in concert or does it acknowledge the wind?
