Furthermore, just because religious claims are scientifically unverifiable, there is just cause to eliminate it altogether. I largely agree with much of what Dawkins has written, but I simply cannot bring myself to abandon my faith. The whole issue is so much more complicated than merely deciding between fact v. fallacy, truth v. myth, faith v. reason, and right v. wrong.
