With those of limited inputs and outputs yes, but one without such
limitations would know and grasp what is the more important.

Theists have no such ability, they are ALWAYS 100% right (in their own minds of course). They do not have the ability to be wrong.

Scientists have uncovered the age of the universe in your mind, and I do
not believe you think they are wrong. You may give lip service to it, but
you believe it to be true or very darn close to it. Theists can be wrong, I'm
not at all sure what topic you think we are error free on. I admit what I
have on topics I cannot prove is faith, which is NOT saying this is the fact,
since I respect the "fact" to mean something I can prove while you on the
other hand give me facts that have to be taken on faith.

Originally posted by sonhouseI'm sorry to hear that too. Condolences also.
You are not the only one losing a son or daughter. We lost the jewel of our family, Darchelle, IQ 170, killed on the motorcycle she loved, killed by a thoughtless woman who turned with no warning right into Darcy's path.
I am sorry for the loss of your son, may he rest in peace.

Originally posted by OdBodTo an atheist you are correct. However, Christianity teaches that "absolute truth" comes from God.
A blind man would say sound is more important than light. A deaf person would say light is more important than sound. Truth very much depends on your point of view, no such thing as " absolute truth ".
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

You are not very convincing. Perhaps you could be more convincing if you could start by showing the scientists and us how the Shroud of Turin was made.
