so what is my definition?

No. I think that science is a valid process for understanding aspects of the physical universe.
Dont you have faith in science Page?
"Faith in the proof" is an oxymoron. If there is proof there is no need for faith. Conversely, if there is faith there is (or should be) no need for proof.
Dont you have faith in the proof that they present?
Because true faith is not based on anything but solid evidence. What is the point of faith, if it is not real?

You see if you were walking through a desert and found a house that was built and furnished, complete with refrigeration, and food, and everything, would you conclude it came about by chance? Or that someone designed it and put it their with effort and work?

oh its totally "my thing". I just found it interesting that instead of giving me an actual answer to the fairly specific query, you instead claimed that your definition was the same as mine without knowing what mine was. If you want an answer, please explain your position. I know what my definition would be, I'm curious as to yours and what you think of as human or the beginnings of humanity.
Okay......but you dont have faith in it..Mmmm
I don't think I am infallible. I question my own understanding on a continuing basis.
What do you think about Your knowledge.....do you have faith in it?

From what I've seen, faith is not based on evidence except in a circular sense. "The Bible is God's word because it says so right there in the Bible."
I'm sure faith is real but what is the point of proof if all that is required is faith? You cannot prove the existence of God to one who does not have faith. If one has faith, no proof should be required.

Right. I don't think science is infallible.

I don't care what you have faith in or not. I'm saying that if you have faith, you should have no reason to tout any evidence as proof of your faith. Faith and proof are apples and oranges.
Or are you saying that we should not have faith in science at all?

You did not answer my question. Do you have faith in gravitational theory? Do you have faith that the apples will fall from trees?
Do you have faith in the electronics theory? Do you have faith in computers?

When did Man start to Call it self Human?
