I have faith in God's Word and what He say is truth. Perhaps you never have seen a subatomic particle but you have faith that they are real. So you see, we both have faith.
As a matter of fact I have seen subatomic particles. Such is the danger of assumption. So you see, one of has faith in things with zero evidence.
As for "God's Word", could you expand on what you mean by that?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Interesting that the Rev hasn't bother to respond to my post or that of Brian Boru, and if he ever does, it will be this one, and he'll insist that we repeat ourselves because he can't be bother to go looking for our previous posts.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

Making sport?
Perhaps.
I prefer to view creationists as chew-toys. They squeak a lot and then get ripped to pieces.
