wrong...that is NOT what I said at all. I said that my faith is not based off of nothing. But in describing my faith, you cannot assume that ALL things should be tangible because proof cannot logically be based on tangibility. My faith is based off of a compilation of reasoning and logical rational when I use the numerous resources given to me by God to see him apart from blind faith. And those resources are not tangible. Can you put science in my hand? Can you put philosophy or history in my hand? No. These are not physical things. They are conceptualized to define human action or a framework of human study.Originally Posted by d993s
Proof and evidence do require faith. Nobody can prove anything to you if you do not have faith that the evidence is sound or it was reasonable and rationally gathered. Even in a science lab, if you feel like I have tampered with the experiment then my results in your mind will be void. This is even demonstrated in this post, when some of us believe that there is definitely an extraterrestrial presence on our planet, and some of us (even having seen the same evidence) reject it.
