Regarding scientific evidence, are there not things we know are true despite any science to prove them? For example, we know that the word love is spelled love for non-scientific reasons. English is a language, not a science. We know 1 + 1 = 2, because mathematics (not science) tells us so. We know Plato was a student of Socrates, and Aristotle was a student of Plato, and Alexander the Great was a student of Aristotle. Yet it is historical evidence, rather than scientific evidence that causes us to elieve. Not all truth is proven true by science; don't you agree?
Actually, the study of history is a science. How do you think we know what we know? Archaeology, linguistics, philology, etc. are all sciences.
As for your assertion about language, I happen to be a linguist, and I'm going to have to disagree with you. We know the word 'love' is spelled 'love' because we have science that tells us the evolution of the word. English may not be a science, but then again neither are atoms. The study thereof is where science comes into play.
Language was not always written down and therefore the study of it is not necessarily a science, which deals with the study of the material. Science is about the physical...it is what separates itself from the realm of myth and its many guises.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
