One reason would be because it works. I do electronic design things all the time, based in instinct or experience or experiment, for which there's no proof, or where the effort to prove something isn't worth the trouble. Another reason is because it feels right. > >Point 2... > >Are you using the word faith correctly? >You wrote to the effect that it takes faith for empathy, honesty, senses >of fairness, love, and desire to help others.. >What do you mean it takes faith in those things? I mean people do things because they just know they are right. And some people have religion because they just feel the presence of God. You apparently don't, and you mock people who do. I have faith that you are an idiot. And I know that you're not much of an electronic designer. John

I think he was referring more to the behavioral parables. You ain't real bright, boy.

There is no behavior so bizzare, so heinous or nasty that it can't be rationalized in the mind of a believer.

It appears that you have never had a beautiful, wonderful, early morning, early spring walk through a flowering Western US desert or Eastern US woodland. That would be a mere two of the reasons why an observer of such wonders becomes certain that it is the result of creation. That is despite evolution. Sure everything has evolved. That still does not rule out it having been created or even advanced by the hand of a higher being, or even *THE* higher being. After all, *HIS* "seven days" are obviously a lot longer than *our* time frames work in. For _this_ little ball we are on, it took 4 billion years AFTER the planetoid coalesced, which took a typically unspecified several tens of hundreds of millions of years to happen as well, after the super nova that spread US all out into the local system. You nor I know for sure, but that is what the very definition of "faith" begins at. The very existence of God or a "Creator". THEN, there was Jesus, who is now the *HE* that is God. You know not the hour which he comes.
