All of this depends on logic, being able to actually make new predictions that can be tested logically. This is how we build on knowledge.
I didn't confuse faith and science, I posed a question for you regarding faith in the form of a scientific inquiry, and you shrunk from answering it. Why all of a sudden are you so adverse to assumptions?

The major difference, as I see it, is that you are totally invested in the search for absolutes, of things that never change, things you can latch onto and never let go. Unfortunately, the universe we live in is all about change. To the logical, change is a challenge, something to be welcomed. To the faithful, it is something to be avoided and defended against. Worse yet, each religion and subset of religion latches on to different things and defends different things.
Even you depend upon absolutes, things that you need to remain constant. How much sense would physics make to you absent the physical laws in our universe? As for change, that's not a problem at all. Unless of course it seeks to contradict the absolutes, that is, the laws of God.

By the way, I'm pretty sure if Christianity did not have any absolutes then unbelievers would complain of how inconsistent God is.

How is what you believe really any different from what, for example, the Romans believed? Neither group can defend their position any better than the other. Each has their own absolutes, neither can "disprove" the other's absolutes. This is faith.
Actually, Christian writers of the first couple centuries did a pretty good job in refuting the pagan religions and defending their own. You might wish to do a little research and reading on them sometime.
