If someone believes in God solely because some things are unexplained it is quite a weak believe. For those that genuinely have put thought into their beliefs and come up as a theist then an argument like this is ridiculous. Both sides do this its just a "who can **** the highest contest."

Just because there currently is no explanation for some event, does not mean there isn't one, or that one may not be found in the future. Assigning unexplained events to "miracles" is simply a copout.

Conversely, just because science has succeeded in the past, does not guarantee success in the future. Ah, but such is faith!

Those are my own words. Which ones do you not understand?

Perhaps, instead, you could quote a reasonably competent atheist spokesman using the characterization as an argument ...

You have strangled yourself defending your position. I am asking you to explain.

That seems a little ironic and a lot patronising. Just for fun though, I'm guaranteeing you personally that science will continue to be successful for as long as it is utilised.
