Reply #236: Yes, I am quite aware that they think that they are right.

Nevertheless, they are not. Me thinking that I am right is not "grounds" for my faith. My faith is self-justifying, it does not need grounds. Since their faith is contradictory to mine they are wrong.

Both of us have groundless faith in the premises ultimately behind the scientific method, and both of us lack groundless faith in the premises ultimately behind praying to God to heal one's child. Thus both of us hold that "science is right" and the position of the fundamentalists you refer to is wrong.

You are still not making an argument. That which is "unworkable" is not necessarily untrue. All that you claim, even if it were true, would only prove that there is a contradiction between what I hold philosophically here and my general political positions and behavior, not that the particular position I am arguing for here is false.
