Question to Christians re humility

Again you're assuming the only valid evidence is testable, observable, demonstrable evidence. If you are not an epistemologically arrogant atheist, explain why (as I interpret) you are an Empirical Naturalist.

It is impossible for anyone to believe anything source-less. Every reaction (believing, in this case) has a cause/reason (evidence). If you say a theist's cause for belief is not evidence, you're basically suggesting every theist is mentally insane. One noted evidence for Christianity is the need for a power outside our natural system to serve as the catalyst for the universe. Another is the Bible, and the literature, archeology and reason supporting its historicity--more specifically, the life and works of Jesus. I do not need to prove either evidence for it to be acceptable. Technically you can only prove repeatable phenomena, so a standard like that actually rules out most of reality.
