Ah, the classic debate between the scientific and religious extremists. Always a pleasure to see.

seep, if religious faith is always false, would you care to give me proof that of that falsity?

JustDis, science is not supposed to be regarded as absolute "fact", and it is not "truth" either, whatever might be thought by science fanboys. Science is the best explanations and descriptions we can come up with at the time for material phenomena. The term "fact" is used to describe well-established scientific laws or theories only for lack of a better term in common use.

Religion and science are two completely autonomous aspects of our lives. Science explains what it can, and religion postulates what science cannot. The very reason that religion still exists, and in as many forms as it does, is that it is completely unprovable, in either its truth or its falsity.
