Hardly........deciding something is true void of evidence is the basis of religion? That's not the basis for Christian faith, as Christian faith is not blind, its based upon the objective record of eyewitness accounts aka, a TESTAMENT.
Lets affirm this again......real slow, faith as found in the BIBLE is not blind its based upon evidence. Just as proclaimed in the holy scriptures themselves (John 20:30-31, Matthew 11:2-5)
Example: "And many other signs (evidences) truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written (recorded) in this book. But these are written (eye witness testaments), that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and believing that ye might have life through His name." -- John 20:30-3
"Jesus answered and said unto them; GO AND SHOW JOHN again these things which ye do hear and see." -- Matt. 11:4
Thus: Christian Faith is based upon the recorded "eyewitness" testimonies of those who walked with the Christ while on earth. Its called "PRIMA FACIE" evidence and its used everyday in the judicial system of these United States of America to sentence individuals for crimes where objective evidence is not available. Simply because the "negative" can't be produced does not stop the objective from ever existing.
Based on your logic......or rather the lack thereof. Because science is not capable of reproducing the things witnessed as science is governed by the natural laws of physics.....the super (superior) to nature (natural) is impossible, yet here we are, standing in a reality that can't be explained via the natural laws of science, and it can't be denied as to its truthfulness.....because you can't deny your own existence as evidence of creation whether natural or supernatural. You can't deny the existence of the physical universe that you are incapable of explaining via the very laws that govern it.
Faith is a "conviction" of things not personally witnessed but believed beyond the reason to doubt otherwise due to contradictory evidence that is made available. To this date.......no one has been capable of producing such contradictory evidence to make one believe otherwise beyond any reason of doubt. Because "YOU" opine something does not make it instant truth. You are held to the same standard that you are attempting to prosecute the faith of others. Disprove the scriptures. Pull out your 'super natural -0- meter' and measure the SUPER (superior) Natural (to nature) events recorded.
In order to dismiss this PRIMA FACIE evidence (Prima Facie: i.e., as it seems, appears at first sight), based upon the eyewitness records of those who actually lived and died during this time period.....you would need to produce the objective evidence to the contrary that these eyewitness accounts were nothing but a record of lies and deceit. Proceed..........
REFUTE THIS STATEMENT via application of applied science or history actual. "For we (the disciples of Christ) have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, BUT WERE EYEWINTESSES OF HIS MAJESTRY." -- 2 Peter 1:16
Next.......in a very fascist manner you are going to attempt to declare that the Bible can't defend itself via presenting its actual content of record?
Even though that is where Christian Faith is actually constructed......its not blind, it is constructed one block at a time with the Christ being the Chief cornerstone, "Faith cometh by hearing and HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD." -- Rom 10:17
Its anything but BLIND as is the faith of human seculars that believe, "Once upon a time there was a cosmic egg........that came from NOBODY KNOWS, and existed for NOBODY KNOWS how long........before it suddenly exploded outward at the speed of litght, with this unknown source of energy creating the stars, which in turn created every physical element known to man through the evolution of GASES to form biological life that eventually morphed into mankind........." Really GAS into Man......that takes faith.
Now that is an example of BLIND FAITH.
Present the first experiment using the scientific method that falsifies the CREATION MODEL found in scripture........next, present first successful experiment using the scientific method that confirms the process of evolution's basic tenet.......ABIOGENESIS (life evolving from dead matter via an application of energy)......there are countless such experiments that FALSIFIES this blind faith.
Science as based upon the Pasteur model.....has proven that LIFE can only come from preexisting life within the same species. Just as presented in scripture (Genesis 1:24-25).
