Why 'Rational faith' Is An Oxymoron

[Darwinian]

This all boils down to your definition of faith and evidence.

I suppose I am being pedantic and basically I understand and agree with what you say but whenever anyone makes a definate statement I always try to examine it from every angle.

I have a friend who is always making statements like "There is NO God." And, of course that is like a red rag to a bull and I have to argue with him.

Anyway, my point here is that you can have faith in something, i.e. a belief that it is true, without having to have absolute evidence. This in itself is not irrational as long as the 'something' can be demonstrated to be true at a later date. i.e. I can always check up to see if she has indeed done her homework.

Basically I have faith that the evidence exists.

Told you I was being picky...

Also, when you write IOW I always think this..
