I'm not talking about USING evidence...I'm talking if there IS evidence...
If there IS evidence to support a belief whether we KNOW if there is or NOT...if there IS - then that is a rational reason to believe. And any valid reasons to believe that a belief IS actually TRUE - IOW ARE evidence.
If on the otherhand...there ISN'T evidence to support a belief....to believe anyway would be to believe 'on faith' therefore by the definition of faith that I am using. And to believe 'on faith' is therefore irrational because that means without evidence and without evidence must mean there IS NO evidence which means there is no valid reason to believe....because a valid reason to believe WOULD BE evidence.
