pete, I didn't ask you to "quantify" anything - and science isn't a question of "belief", to again quote the estimable DMcG above:

"It is in the nature of science and indeed growth of knowledge of any kind that when you learn something new you need to incorporate it into what you already know. Occasionally it will involve throwing out a chunk of what you thought you knew, but most of the time it is a slight modification in understanding."

Anyway, we now know that you think that modern scientists are deluded (oh dear!).

By the way, what does the phrase "spiritual blindness" mean? And who or what is "the devil" (although I suspected he'd appear at some point)? Is "the devil" all-seeing and all-knowing - like God - and made out of nothing? If so, that's two invisible super-beings made out of nothing! What was that about, "educated people [believing] unproven and impossible things"?
