[QUOTE="Didaskomenos, post: 373892, member: 832"] What's your point here? I do not believe there is scientific evidence for everything I believe in. Does that prohibit me from believing anything with a scientific basis? Does believing something with a scientific basis preclude my having any non-empirical beliefs? You believe certain things established by science (gravity), but that doesn't invalidate your spiritual beliefs. I believe your point is the slippery slope, "where do you draw the line" argument. My answer: I am a Christian. I have faith in my Creator, based on and consistently proven by my relationship with him. I believe he is responsible for the book we call the Bible - it points to Truth (sometimes more obliquely than others). But so does the book we call nature. We Christians are supposed to hope after Truth, seek it always, and have faith in it. I have a problem with those who approach their interpretation of the Bible as the end-all and be-all fountain of Truth: they can really live their whole lives without ever needing real faith in the Creator as the source of Truth ("for who hopes for what he already has?"). What faith is involved in being able to consult the answer book for every fact? [/QUOTE]
