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.
I understand that completely Vic and wouldn't argue that there may be a double standard. I do hold a presupposition to my belief in God and I try to be objective in my skepticism. The problem comes where I can say I find immense problems with evolution theory as origin of species, but I cannot offer a viable, testable alternative. My means for explanation can only be labeled as supernatural. I am working on your request Vic for my path to belief, but like I said, it's not a simple post and some areas cannot be empirically tested.
Well, I hope you take a look at the first link in the post I made prior to the one you quoted, because I find those immense problems with evolution to be an exaggeration, and demonstrably so.
But laying that aside, I'm glad to hear you're thing to answer my question. I'll post a thread on it so that more theists could answer. Looking forward to your explanation.
