We'd quickly go extinct as a species if we went by that rule.
We would also go extinct if we never used faith. Think about it.
I'm telling you to consider everything.
As interpreted by certain people.
If you remember my example from the post you just quoted from (2 posts ago), I said someone in the pool said the water is warm.
That is irrationality.
If I believed that the moon is made of chees, is this evidence that the moon is made of cheese?
You will notice that in my example the people are already in the pool and know that there is water. This is like the situation we have here, someone telling us there is no evidence for evolution when we are surrounded in it.
Wrong. There are no posts from AV1611VET containing links to your posts containing evidence, Aldebaran.I think AV1611VET answered your question very well.
I see. So you ignored my example instead of addressing it, and then changed it in order to deflect. I guess you're not really into learning anything here, which doesn't show you to be very open-minded. Hard to take you seriously.
We can even add "and in the presence of contradictory evidence" (e.g. YEC).Faith is a belief that is held in the absence of evidence.
Correct and irrelevant, AV1611VET: FaithThat's because faith requires an object; and not just an object, but an object acted on.
Let us say we hypothetically accept Aldebaran's ignorant assertion that faith is evidence. That leads toFaith is defined as confidence or trust in a being, object, living organism, deity, view, or in the doctrines or teachings of a religion. Faith may also refer to a hope or belief, rational or irrational, in a certain outcome. Faith is used to refer to a belief that is not based on proof or evidence.[1] The word faith is sometimes used as a synonym for hope,[2] for trust,[3] or for belief.[4]
Actually we would go extinct if we only used faith. Think about it. Faith is ignoring evidence. Ignoring the evidence that there is a lion hiding in the grass is kind of fatalWe would also go extinct if we never used faith. Think about it.
- Christians have faith that God exists.
- Hindus have faith that Shiva and other gods exist.
- The Greeks had faith that Zeus, etc, existed.
- Etc.
- Thus every god in every religion exists
That is what I quoted in from Faith:As I said, faith requires an object.
Every god in every religion in every religion is an object regardless of any order that you imagine they were created, AV1611VET.Correct and irrelevant, AV1611VET: Faith

Shiva, Zeus, Etc, and Mother Nature all came after JEHOVAH.
We call that: diabolical mimicry or diabolical plagiarism.
The real world has JEHOVAH appearing late in the history of religion, AV1611VET.
Ancient Egyptian religion emerged long (ie over 1000 years) before Jehovah/Yahweh was worshipped.
So you are an atheist (and yes I know that this is not the case), AV1611VETReligion ... along with its history ... can take a hike.
The real world has JEHOVAH appearing late in the history of religion, AV1611VET. Take burial rites as evidence of religious rites and the first gods appears about 33,000-25,000 BCE. that is 30,000 years before JEHOVAH appeared ~3750 BCE when the Proto-Semitic people appeared.
So you are an atheist ...
