By the way, would you be so kind as to actually present this information?You can't have empirical evidence for faith, as that would contradict the model. You can have non empirical evidence, such as the entire bible, or experience based upon your assumptions.

Sure, it may be comforting, but within your belief system, I'm not seeing anything that can distinguish between fact and fantasy. It's just one giant wishful thinking and God of the Gaps exercise.Well you're not understanding the argument, if you believe what you said above. So I don't see how you wouldn't find it absurd. I would too.
