Why is Evidence so needed?
Posted: Sun Apr 15, 2012 3:26 pm
I always end up asking myself at the end of the day "Why do people need 'evidence?'" Honestly, I don't see Christianity evidence based, but there is very strong evidence to support it. I see it more as a personal faith. I'll try to elaborate that a little more. I'll give you an example on the reason.
Last year, I was at lunch at school. And I heard a friend of mine say around the lines "I believe in a divine power, but I need scientific evidence to support this." Now, after a year has passed, she says quite the opposite. She told me "When I said that, I was ignorant." I'm not sure about her salvation, she came to my church to hear me speak, then she went into the back room and asked about salvation with her friend. So, she's on her way . Is it circumstances that affect people, or how they don't want there to be a God? I ask myself this all the time. So please, can you help? If I didn't make it clear, please let me know.
Thank you,
