What, are you on your mobile too? Anyway, you used an appeal to faith as your greatest reason to believe. There have have been numerous instances of this, so I shouldn't have to quote you on it. If you have a beef with yourself using faith, then I suggest you seek therapy for being at odds with yourself suddenly.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Leviticus 19:18 has a quote similar to the golden rule. As part of a set of commands that govern behavior towards others, the Israelites are told to "love your neighbor as [you love] yourself."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Do you mean Epicurus?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

So was Jesus' version in Mark - Israelite only that is, but no-one ever notices.
