Just for the sake of argument, show me any case where blind faith that 
something is true has every turned out to be right, save by pure 
accident, and more to the point, how any other case has *not* been based 
on seeing evidence, forming a theory based on that evidence, and then 
testing, in some fashion, if that conclusion was *actually* correct, or 
needed modification... We start out with science, experimenting with our 
world and figuring out what works and doesn't work, and forming 
**justified** opinions about why and how. Then, about the point where we 
start talking people start telling us that some things are better 
explained by the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and Jesus. I can't imagine 
*why* atheists would think scientific thinking was the corner stone of 
rational thought... Snort!
