The Evolutionistic Faith

In one case, Apostolos, you are dead right. In another, dead wrong.As you state, one cannot prove empirically that God does not exist. Equally, one cannot prove empirically that God DOES exist. One cannot prove empirically that there are not 73 Gods running the universe, or that God has a father - SuperGod, who in turn has a father - HyperGod. So with a total lack of empirical evidence for God, there is no reason to believe in it.But you are totally wrong about evolutionists choosing their faith to not believe in God. The simple fact is that many people have chosen to base their beliefs on the evidence they see around them, rather than on what someone preaches. The result is that they don't believe in fairies or ghosts or flying saucers, but they accept evolution (along with many other scientific theories) because they think the evidence supports these theories. Religion and faith have nothing to do with it.Mike.

OK, Russ, here is my attempt to answer your question.I guess I am an atheist. But I do not claim that there is no God. I simply claim that I have no belief in the subject. My choice was not between having faith in this or having faith in that. It was simply a decision not to have faith.OK, no doubt some will quibble about the definition of faith, and assert that one must have faith in something. Well, you could say that I have faith that tomorrow I will still be me, and the sky will still be blue (or grey). But that is extrapolation from years of experience, and I don't regard it as faith when it is based on accumulated evidence.That better?Mike.
