[quote]If this is the case, however, how can any belief which is based solely on faith be rightfully considered 'knowledge'?[/quote] It can't, which is exactly what I said before. Belief and feeling by definition are very different from knowledge. Anyone who claims to "know" of god(s) is either a fool or touched with a supernatural hand I haven't been privileged enough to experience. The question of the existence of god(s) [i]can't[/i] be one answered with the scientific method, because it can neither prove nor disprove due to complete lack of evidence for both sides, and the scientific method, by definition, must have evidence to operate.
