know ..... laws of physics/chemistry etc I use on a day to day basis, I know are reliable predictors of the universe (a bit of an exaggeration) within the limitations they used.

now when it comes to god, I don't have quality evidence one way or the other ..... but if you could define god .... that may eliminate some possibilities! So in short, I don't have faith, know or believe.

Goodnight from the Kootenays

You have just shown that you have all three my friend.
