Christian "faith" vs. plain "faith"

[Huggy Bear]

So you wouldn't just take the random man off the street at his word? Even if he seems appropriately gentlemanly? Then why on earth are you castigating science for doing the same?

Not that I believe for a second that it's possible to please you, on this subject; if science really did start taking people randomly at their word and not testing things, I have no doubt you'd turn that into an "aha!" moment too and accuse the scientific community of just making things up based on the last thing they were told. Let's not pretend that this is some consistent position you've taken up.

What's particularly infuriating is that evolution deniers like you are the ones most likely to leap on all the supposed evolution "frauds" whenever you need to, yet you'll take the rigorous testing needed to root out any such frauds and turn that into a weakness too. But if the scientific tests started yielding positive evidence for your god, I bet you'd be trumpeting the repeatability and consistency of those results from the rooftops.

There you go with the misrepresentations for the third time, But I'M the dishonest one...right?
First I'm Justifying rape, next I'm claiming gold has inherent value, now I'm denying evolution. Before I respond, to you, I want you to show where I've denied evolution.

Didn't you just get through saying that needing evidence for a thing bespeaks a lack of confidence?

No, I said "Having to repeatedly preform tests actually shows lack of confidence".

Let me break it down for you since, you apparently can't understand that concept.
Say I have a ladder, if i give the rungs a test before I climb up on it, obviously I'm not confident in it.

Just because I've seen evidence doesn't mean I require it. when Jesus walked up to the disciples and said "come follow me" they dropped what they were doing and followed him having no idea who he was... that's faith. Having spent enough time with him, they seen the evidence of who he was, now it's no longer faith. Get it?
