One thing I want to establish is that we all believe certain things by faith or without testable evidence. So saying that you only believe in what can be scientifically tested is a little disingenuous.
You haven't been able to furnish a single example of something I believe without having evidence for it. In fact, the examples you gave were roundly refuted in a matter of posts, and yet your argument hasn't changed.
I don't have faith; I have reasonable expectations based upon observable past events and probabilities, and if I'm wrong, I will certainly change my views accordingly based on new evidence. Faith is the denial of observations and evidence so that one's beliefs can be preserved, and I'm not going to sit here and play fast and loose with definitions so that you can play your little con game. What you really want to do here is apply one definition of faith to what we believe, another to what you believe, and then pretend that they are the same definition.
Sorry, it's not gonna fly here. You think you're the first theist to come in here and try that?
