Evidence for God from Science

This is not a trick question.

I have faith in lots of things, why?

I have faith (complete trust or confidence) in a multitude of things that I've deemed as sensible, yes.

Everyone has faith in something.

Faith is all we have.

Don't you have Faith?

THIS is not a trick answer.

If you stop everything and listen closely, you can hear the sound of an axe grinding in the distance.

Funny how you choose THAT definition and not any of the rest:
4. belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.:

1. confidence or trust in a person or thing:

I'm wondering, how are you not a Nihilist?

Hi Snorider,

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

The Bible does NOT say that faith is the evidence of things that do not exist. It is my experience that there are many things that I have faith in that I cannot physically see with my eyes. And I'm sure you would agree that all truth is not solely dependent upon our senses.

Watch the following video. It's from Professor John Lennox's present speaking tour. The first 30 or so minutes are a lecture on faith and the last 40 or so minutes are questions and answers.

Is Faith a Delusion?
