For me, reliable, repeatable results, accessible to anyone.

How does one objectively verify, observe or quantify what one finds important in life?

How did you decide science was important to you?

Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)

There are different kinds of faith in the world. Faith can mean a variety of different things to different people. There are different ways people interact with faith. I am sure we all can imagine the stereotype of somebody clinging blindly and angerly to some story against all evidence. There may be people who keep such pointless embattlement as central to their faith.

For me faith is in constant interaction with experience logic science and history. I do not expect everybody to agree with just how I find them interacting but kindly keep that anti science crap out of my house.

Science looks at the heights and depths of God's creations and deny him. That is not adjusting to what is observed. I think it must be the first article of faith among ACCEPTED scientists that no explanation is acceptable that fails to eliminate God from the equation.

Science selects a much more difficult solution for an explanation of creation proving that they have no spine. They pander for acceptance more than accept truth. Who is it forcing the minds of science to bend his way? This betrays their integrity as a mere facade and proves them more devoted to myth than the most twisted of theist. ACCEPTED science is in fact agenda driven in defiance of God.

Everywhere they look they are staring at the sun and refusing to admit that it is shining. For a cloak they say, look at all OUR inventiveness, be grateful and give us God's honor for we are his replacements. Cults baby cults. Have they not mixed enough Kool-Aid to kill us all? Many times over! Hmm?

It is spineless to decide to seek for a more difficult explanation?

Odd.
