In his inimitable style J&M points out the obvious flaw in all faith based systems, i.e. how can you ever know it's true or even reach a consensus? Clearly most people of faith don't really care much about truth in a scientific/evidential sense; most seem to believe in things for other reasons (like tradition, conformity or comfort etc.). However, getting them to admit they don't really "know" it's true in any meaningful way is a whole other kettle of fish.
