if we believe there are unicorns on Jupiter...we could tangibly discss the sice and color of their horns, couldn't we?

Not unless those unicorns had some way of imparting information about themselves. We could discuss it, but there would have to be some kind of support for our comments to make them something other than pure conjecture.

Okay, what support do Mormons have for the Book of Mormon? Or the Mohammedans for the koran? Or the Jews for the Five books of Moses? That in all these cases somehow "God" is speaking through all those authors? It has to be takn on faith and afith alone. There is no proof anywhere that any of these books are from God. God is not communicating with us; we hame men saying God is communicating through them. The scirptures, like God Himself, must be accepted a priori by a leap of faith. After that, everything that's in them becomes "real."
