Just a little point, i used the expession religious faith in the goal of shocking the readers, sorry it's my style. The religious faith was AN ANALOGY about how people beleive they got the truth into scientifical experiences vs what i was saying, ie you can beleive in your results but never be perfectly sure of them (in christian world, you can beleive into life after death but never be sure of that = faith (i know i know we can discuss that too but that's not the point)).

Well, even as analogy, I think it was somewhat badly chosen. Devoutly religious people are often more sure of their beliefs than any scientifically-minded person can ever be of their own. Ask the suicide bombers about how sure they are that they will be greeted by pretty virgins in heaven.

well, now i'm getting into REALLY offtopic territory, but FYI, the "700 virgins waiting in heaven" or whatever bullshit was purely a sensational fabrication of the US media, no Muslim I have ever met knows of such nonsense.

Please resume original unnecessary discussion.
