Is it true, that stuff that's provable by evidence doesn't need logic? What is there we need to rationalise that isn't provable fact?
Faith (including a belief in God) isn't the only thing exempt from evidence. As Kyu says, so is Maths.
@Mark: You miss my point entirely, and the point of this thread it seems. You can't keep saying "well there's no proof of God so I know he doesn't exist". It's an absurd assumption! What I am saying, if you read the OP, and repeatedly through this thread, is that belief can't be provable. Please don't keep on repeating the same thing at me, like I haven't answered it already.
