If faith works how every religion says it works......

Really? What about Hume, Paine, d'Holbach, Spinoza, Jefferson and Smith, to name but a few?

I believe they probably exist, by faith. I must be stupid.

I now define science as fascinating knowledge that nobody can possibly explain or prove, requiring more and more faith, the more it discovers and tries to explain. The more cosmologists learn, the less they seem to understand. They are starting to make mystics who only believed in two universes look sane and rational.

But at least we know how Jesus could be in two places at once.

There's a reason that mutiple dimensions and parallel universes are not considered scientific fact: there is no evidence for them. They are merely hypotheses which we cannot yet verify or falsify. They are, at least in principle, falsifiable, unlike God. That's why no-one claims to believe in them, though they can be put forward as a possible explanation.

You can define science how you like. Just don't expect anyone to listen to you, though.

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
