Talking of unanswered questions, pete: On the 24th Sept at 01:32 PM you used the phrase, "whether they make assumptions about what is unobservable". I interpreted this to mean scientists making assumptions about the unobservable past.

At 02:35 PM, on the same day, I asked you: "Do you mean unobservable like the entire contents of the Bible, pete?

At 02:52 PM you replied: "I have never denied the faith factor shimrod."

At 04:40 PM I asked you: "If scientists make assumptions about the 'unobservable' they are just plain wrong ... but if biblical fundamentalists do so, that's OK because they have something called 'faith'? Have I got that right?"

I received no reply.

Since then, I have re-asked this question several more times ... still no reply.

Have you got an answer to my question, pete? Or did I catch you out in a spot of hypocrisy and you'd prefer not to answer?
