112. of course its a waste of time...
because antitheists are incapable of accepting that a theist could actually have a valid logical point.

messes with their world view, and all.

I understand your position: because in the past science has (in your view) always arrived at the truth, that means they will in this instance as well. I simply don't blindly accept it as valid.

why should I?

I'm saying that I think its possibly an unknowable conundrum, for BOTH science and religion...AND I'm not making an assumption that one or the other will answer it due to track record. Track record is no guarantee of eventual truth.

You already are prejudiced in favor of science and against religion, therefore you arrive at conclusions of future discoveries and call that logic. I'm skeptical of future discovery on this particular issue, and my veiw is more supported by the current status, whereas your view depends on faith that eventually evidence not in hand will be.

I'll stick with my skepticism until proven otherwise.
