So according to you, "hearing" something is akin to "knowing" something? And you have a slide rule in your back pocket too.
How dishonest can one person be? I never said or implied that, you are a liar

No, yet again, you are being a dishonest asshole

My daugther doesn't have hope that I will do anything. She has [faith] that I will do everything!
"Faith" is "hope" becoming reality. I have "faith" that God will take care of my entire life. I have "hope" He will take care of [your] life... and my childrens!
Hope is based on reasonable expectations based on evidence e.g. I hope Federrer wins another grand slam. Faith is based on nothing

What does quantize mean?

Oh please do. I guarantee you cannot list one thing that is true. And if you did, guess what... I would stop believing in it. That is how a rational mind works.

I can't tell if you are being dull or an asshole again.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
