Religion requires accepting certain things on faith. Should we

Yes.

You seem to be blinded by your prejudices.

No. I simply recognize reality. Faith-based thinking has never
produced a truth.

Before we can do that, we would have to ask: *what* things does
religion ask us to accept on faith?

It doesn't.

which causes you to misunderstand what John said. OF COURSE religion
asks us to accept certain things on faith. So does science.

I do not accept any axioms on faith. I'm always open to considering
different axioms, different choices for assumptions behind reasoning.
That is not faith.

"Accurate knowledge." Hmm, that phrase seems to be tinged with private
interpretation.

No. Reality is not determined by interpretation.

What makes all this pathetic is every single one of you are a product of what the Catholic Church did by leaving the difficulties surrounding a Sun centered system and predictive astronomy unresolved and specifically why one can't mesh with the other.

The Brits didn't help when the lack of a resolution was exploited by Royal Society mathematicians but then again it now appears to be a pan-European thing.
