Evidence for Believing

[Anomalocaris]

If I ever got cancer and it went on remission on its own, I would surely offer any help for research as to understand what happened instead of clasping hands and say miracle. My only request would be that those tests could be performed by a hot nurse in reduced uniform. Ya know, for pain relief.

Pain relief for you, not the nurse.

Your gap argument is and always will be a gap argument.  That's just the way it is.  It's not a good argument, at all...but it obviously informs you.  I think you might want to explore why it informs you, and why you reject other explanations.

What gap argument? The "god of the gaps" is a way of attributing to the divine what has a natural cause. I don't think that's a good argument, either.

If you are defining faith in the Hebrews 11:1 way, then faith is irrational by definition. If you are defining it as belief without demonstrable evidence, then it is irrational.

Believing without demonstrable and falsifiable evidence, and valid and sound logic, is irrational.

The author states that faith is not borne of observation, that's not irrational. Is logic irrational? It's not based on observation either. Is intuition irrational?

Name one confirmable, evidential, demonstrable supsiternatural event.

What does this mean, that I have to be able to repeat a supernatural event under experimental controls so you can verify it? That's obviously begging the question.

How about the miraculous healing of Marion Carroll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TO7PJkzcVU

Let me get this straight.   You have something you assessed through fallible senses;   interpreted using a brain that is not only in principle fallible, but specifically twisted to regard cognitive lassitude as "access to the divine",  and can not be independently observed and verified.    Therefore you have a higher form of truth.

Let me guess, you are 16 and really think you have all reality at your finger tips and resent the fact that people who know much more about these things tells you to pop a few pimples and stroke yourself.
