I said “Faith don’t power my mobile phone”

IAEE says “Your cell phone is the direct result of one man’s faith. A guy by the name of James Clerk Maxwell.”

1) If I stop believing in my mobile phone, it still works. So it doesn’t require my faith. That’s the case with science. No _extra_ belief above logic & evidence is needed to make it work.

2) Your argument seems to be Maxwell’s equations were motivated by a belief in god, and the equations are right, therefore god exists. I think there’s a bit missing from that logic.
