Absolutely Rob and I agree 100%. It is the conclusion that I deduce and I will readily admit it is most likely impossible to improve empirically.
But yet you have no problem believing it to be true, while the slightest hole you can pick in the evolutionary theory discredits it in your mind. Do you see the double standard?
I will accept at face value the explanation of having faith for emotional reasons, and I wouldn't argue against that. But the moment you say you hold your beliefs out of rationality, I feel compelled to step in and beg to differ.
