Save my brother from certain death. The doctors said he was done for but through faith in God he completely recovered, even the Muslim doctor said our family's faith had something to do with it.

Evidence please. Not just mumbo-jumbo bullshit but real verifiable evidence.

'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

So your position---let me get this straight---is that it is more admirable to stick with something you know to be false or incorrect rather than amend your position as you learn new things? That somehow because scientists are happy (excited even!) to admit when they've gotten it wrong (and then proving how they corrected themselves!)---this makes them an unreliable source when seeking to describe the world in realistic terms?

And then on top of this, you are further claiming that the backwards bronze age mentality that comes with Christianity and your particular god is a good thing because you like to think it never changes? Do you still sell your daughters into marriage for a bride price? Do you stone people for minor infractions? Do you still burn "witches" at the stake? Do you still support the overt racism borne of Christian leaders in the south in the 60's? Of course your religion has changed.

Welcome.
