To start let's make it clear we are not talking about religion, as for most scientists it’s just a collection of folk stories with no claim to grasp the nature of reality.
The argument can not be about theism or atheism, because we should know by now, there can't be any proof either way, and we should stop discussing it, it’s a waste of time.
In this post I want to move the theist/atheist argument to materialism vs idealism.
1.Science is very successful, and proof about this is all around us. The progress of modern science in the past decades it’s been astounding and part of this progress is the world wide network of communication (built with the help of science itself) helping in sharing ideas and theories within the worldwide scientific community.
As human beings and we are always operating on faith since we never know what the future has in store for us.
When we pressed the elevator button we wait because we have faith it will come. Based on this statement we should make a distinction between three kinds of faith: below reason, within reason and above reason.
The usual connotation of the word refers to the first kind of faith: below reason, meaning that we’ve been told something and we believe it without verifying it. This is the religious approach to faith.
