But if tomorrow it was proven that Allah did not exist it would make absolutely no difference to you, you'd still say Allah exists. And that's the difference between science and faith; a scientific person is often correct but is never certain, a religious person is seldom correct but is always certain. Nobody would put on a suicide vest unless they were absolutely positively 100% certain it was a good idea; Christians Muslims and Jews have all been that certain at one time or another, but atheists never have, they just don't have the right sort of lethal mind virus.
