Your comments are wholly composed of argumentative theses that lack any support. I attest this to a lack of any substantial knowledge of scientific method, among other things, but I make the humble request that you give us some evidence for your claims in any future posts. It will make it much easier for other people to engage in intelligent arguments with you.<BR/><BR/>An obvious example would be your above post. You say your faith is based on facts and arguments, yet you only list arguments (which you even label as arguments) and no facts. Arguments require facts, which you have not provided, and a quick research of your arguments shows that they are all fallacies.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, still, for commenting on our blog, and we look forward to posts from you and anyone else, no matter what religion or lack thereof.The Philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006650763671199477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9223355177720403957.post-52263562321916403682009-01-21T16:33:00.000-08:002009-01-21T16:33:00.000-08:00Seriously dude, the first Greek and Jewish Christi...<I>Seriously dude, the first Greek and Jewish Christians never used faith to mean blind baseless belief.

When we speak of faith, we aren't referring to the 2,000 year old greek interpretation of the word.

"Facts", by which I assume you mean testable and observable facts, cannot demonstrate the truth of many presuppositions made by science. Metaphysical truths are a perfect example of this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9223355177720403957.post-21750577010282801772008-12-19T05:18:00.000-08:002008-12-19T05:18:00.000-08:00"This is, of course, is due to the fact that faith..."This is, of course, is due to the fact that faith is based not off of facts, but assumption" <BR/><BR/>That's wierd because my faith is based on a plethora of facts and arguments like: <BR/>the teleological argument<BR/>the various cosmological arguments<BR/>the various ontological arguments<BR/>the moral argument<BR/>and finally the rather stunning evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. <BR/><BR/>Seriously dude, the first Greek and Jewish Christians never used faith to mean blind baseless belief.
