Do you happen to know if that is really what he ties his faith to? Seems more likely to just be how he justifies it after the fact, don't you think?
Perhaps, but that strikes me as a distinction without a difference. Whether a priori or ex post facto, the thrust of my question remains -- what might happen to that "faith", shorn of its "evidence"?
