One Difference Between Science and Faith
The difference: Scientists eventually come to a consensus whereas religionists can only agree about what they've always agreed to, that supernatural beings and/or forces exist. Look at what science has accumulated by contrast:
This massive 758 page book represents the consensus among scientists:
Okay now, after several millenia show me the consensus that believers around the world have come to. Can't think of anything? Neither can I. Then stop denying the obvious. Your faith is based on the same foundation as all others, an irrational leap over the probabilities. When faith is the basis for what you think then anything can be believed.
Believers are in denial so much that they are forced to selectively deny science only in those rare areas where it disconfirms something found in their holy books, written by, now get this everyone, ancient superstitious pre-scientific people!
