All,
I've asked a few questions here and have yet to receive anything approaching an answer (or even in some cases a response). I think I should restate those questions because it seems it is being forgotten that they are still hanging. I might forget a few, so chime in with ones I've forgotten.
a) Demonstrate that faith/revelation provide knowledge about the universe. I.e. that they are valid mechanisms of acquiring knowledge, be it physical or "spiritual" (whatever that means, we'd need a definition, and some evidence it even exists, because saying that reason cannot examine love [for example] is merely yet another reassertion of the original claim).
b) Demonstrate a method for distinguishing between two faith based claims.
c) Demonstrate that reason etc cannot penetrate the areas you claim faith/revelation can, because at the moment all of your examples have been either i) mere reassertions of your original point or ii) derived solely from your personal ignorance of the topics at hand.
d) Demonstrate that questions such as "what is the meaning of life?" are valid questions or valid universally, and that faith/revelation can answer them.
e) Demonstrate that a "religion" that has absolutely no areas of conflict with science at all is distinguishable from a secular, non-religious philosophy or ethical system.
f) Demonstrate that something that is undetectable by any means at all is distinguishable from something that doesn't actually exist.
That's all I can think of for now.
