Hi Doc,
I agree with absolutely everything you just said. The reason I'm an Atheist now, however:
But faith isn't a pursuit of "discovering facts' based on "finding proof'. Its placing strong trust in something based on the knowledge that the object, though not tangible, is true.
I simply don't see how faith can be any more accurate than random guessing. I can't find an idea credulous without evidence to give me greater confidence than a random guess.
When someone says "I think
x is true," I need to know
why x is true, the evidence supporting the statement, and I want to be able to test independently whether
x is true with positive results before I'll believe in it.
