On the contrary, faith is based on believing in something where there is no verifiable evidence to back up that POV. There is nothing wrong with that by the why, but that is not evidence of a god's existence. Neither is it evidence when people claim they have been 'changed' by a god. It is faith.
Thing is dark matter will probably be proven to exist (maybe even in our lifetimes)....a God has had since the dawn of man to stump up. So far? Nada...only belief....
No it is not. Just because you want to define it that way does not mean you get to tell me what faith is. You have faith that the government will not turn up at your doorstep, drag you out of your house, and shoot you on the street. What is that faith based on?
I don't have faith in that at all. Nothing is certain.
A belief in god is based on faith only. There is absolutely no verifiable evidence in any religion that a god exists. If you have undisputable evidence, put it forward... I bet I can rip it to shreds....
BTW, this is not an assault on your faith. If you absolutely believe there is a God, I have no problem. That is YOUR belief...note I use the word 'belief', not 'fact'....
I suppose that depend how you define verifiable evidence, doesn't it?
Because quite honestly, I've seen lots of evidence that God exists and no evidence that He doesn't.
