There's a dividing line you seem to be confused about, the one between 
science and belief, the two equally are important realms that are by 
definition mutually exclusive of one another. The latter tries to 
process issues that the former is incapable of resolving. To think that 
all that is is what we 'know' in the folly of many. I once read a 
perfect example of this when an astronomer (of all people!) said "we 
cannot find dark matter so it does not exist".
