Let's be clear, an empirical position -- say on the Earth orbiting the sun -- does not require "faith" in the religious sense of the word. Or not any longer. There's a reasonable amount of "faith" required for anything, but this operates in degrees and a few people in this thread are trying pull it into the realm of the absurd.
I can see why people like Pat and Lee are hoping that a position of "everything requires faith" is accepted; such proposition would seem to put God and science on similarly valid intellectual footings. In other words, by weakening science, theism is strengthened. Such a position won't be accepted though, since it demands that we also accept that the level of faith required for the two is in anyway comparable. It isn't.
