Christians and Their Homework!

That's a fair point. But consider this: our five senses are obviously quite limited compared to those of other animals. Similarly, all quantitative, empirical measurements must be based on a limited number of significant figures because our scientific instruments are only accurate to a certain mathematical degree. There's no problem with going in favor of evidence, but our "evidence" is based on our extremely limited means of perceiving reality. To believe in spiritual reality is simply to believe that something exists that transcends our ability to perceive it by natural means. Sure, that's not a proof in itself, but you could argue that it's likely.

Certainly, anything can be likely. Yet, to place faith or belief in a liklihood rather than what we rationally perceive as reality is merely a sign of intellectual laziness; i.e., filling in the gaps of knowledge with outlandish, illogical concepts.
