When one resorts to ad hominem attacks, one automatically loses the argument and the respect of any rational person. Faith attempts (and fails) to make sense of the unknown but faith is not a tool of knowledge. However, the scientific method is indeed a tool of knowledge. I personally don't see any difference at all in a five-year-old child's faith in Santa Claus and an adult's faith in God. What makes one faith-based concept better than any other?

As a Christian, it can be difficult to reconcile all the evil that happens in the world with an all knowing, all powerful loving God who could stop it if He wants, but chooses not to do so. If our hearts break for the innocent children who were senselessly murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary, how can a God who loves us not feel the same way? If any of us had known what Adam Lanza was going to do, we would have done anything in our power to stop him, so why didn't God? All too often we tend to quote...
