It doesn't make sense to start discussing the minutiae, until we have the big picture clarified.

My point, precisely. But that's a discussion to be had amongst theists, and not those of us who exist outside that box.
And just so you know that I'm not blowing you off, I did read the McGrath article, until I got here, where he quotes H.W. Griffith-Thomas:

[Faith] affects the whole of man's nature. It commences with the conviction of the mind based on adequate evidence; it continues in the confidence of the heart or emotions based on conviction, and it is crowned in the consent of the will, by means of which the conviction and confidence are expressed in conduct.

I'm not a scientist, as I've said many times before, but neither do I speak the above language. Sincerely, I can't begin to parse what it's supposed to mean.
