Faith and logic are polar opposites--faith requires devotion, logic requires questioning. Your attempt (not the first) to marry the two is puzzling; you aren't stupid. Yet you use the same hackneyed arguments ("indisputable proof") that you so rudely decry. Everything you posted assumes what you are trying to prove.

If a scientist (or anyone really) approaches a mysterious situation with the answer in mind, objectivity is lost. Now, if one's aim is to prove that the Wall of Jericho existed, it isn't that hard (nevermind that proving the Wall of Jericho ever happened doesn't independently prove the existence of God). On a more banal level, if I watch everyone and assume that they're spies from the government, or private detectives hired by my wife to make sure I'm not cheating on her, then my mindset becomes my reality independent of reality. Do you think the people who fund these digs do so with the goal of attaining knowledge? That simply isn't how funded research works; whoever pays the purse gets to decide the slant through which lens the project results will be shown.

My only point on the Catholic Church (and as a tangent all organized religion) is that religious morality is often trumped by politics and a contentious desire to maintain the status quo. There are numerous examples of this throughout history, and the Nazi Germany is one. My opinions of religion are what they are, but the facts before you are undeniable; what was distressing was the way in which you danced around the parts that couldn't be explained away.

You're young, and religion has provided you with the answers to questions about the world. Cool. But nevertheless, it represents only an opinion, and the vicious way in which you try to alchemize your opinion into some factual truth is fairly boring. I've seen people on both sides of the religious issue do this, and it is always distasteful no matter who's doing it. Rather than looking for facts to support a truth, you look for facts to support your truth. In that sense, it is the reason why talking to you has become a waste of my time.

Should you have something level-headed to say, I'm all ears.
