20:43 "... both in science and in faith there's this quest of the best big picture. You observe, you experience, you stand back and try to work out how to make sense of these various observations and experience". Yeah, but there's a teeny tiny difference in the methodological details: Science: 1. Construct a hypothesis that makes predictions. 2. Test the predictions. 3. Modify hypothesis according to your findings. Faith: 1. Make shit up. 2. ? 3. Profit. I don't understand how these apologists who try to convince us both approaches hold the same epistemic utility can hold a straight face. They always circle back to the same arguments: 1. "Science requires faith too!" No, science is testable and falsifiable. _Trust_ in one's hypothesis is implied, otherwise one would not bother to pursue it. 2. "Theology also uses rational inquiry!" Yes, a category of "armchair philosophy". One can spend a lifetime arguing about the chemical properties of kryptonite, but it's not going to produce anything useful. Nothing new to see here.

who is censoring my comments? and why?
censoring comments is the bastion of cowardice!
Faith is believing what you know ain't true.
