evidence and faith
Welcome, Megan,

If you want to believe, the evidence is out there... You have to take some of it on faith, and some of it you have to dig for to find the answers.
​
If evidence relies on faith, it is no longer objective, and no longer scientific. I wonder, do you have any "evidence" for God or Creationism that doesn't rely on faith?
​
Come on, guys, you have to admit that there's some stuff involved in evolution that sounds just as far-fetched as a Divine Creator.
​
What about the theory of evolution do you think is "far-fetched"?
More far-fetched than an undetectable, infinite, omnipotent, omniscient being?

Re: evidence and faith
Hey jar,
​
I don't have a problem with anything you've said.
​
Though, I don't think you've contradicted my statements on evidence and faith (I'm not sure if you meant to):
- Objective, scientific evidence cannot rely on faith.
- Such evidence for God does not exist without the inclusion of faith.
​
When you state that you take in all that you have learned from science and "see the hand of GOD," you are taking a leap of faith, I would gather.
