Is 'faith' really a 'great cop-out'?

[Daystar]

Erm...I'm just going out on a whim here, but maybe because EVOLUTION IS SCIENCE!

Arguably, but isn't it interesting that when archaeology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, genetics, geology, paleontology, physics and technology are called what they are and Evolution has to be - almost constantly reaffirmed as Science!

In the mind of much of the faithful the atheist position releases one from moral responsibility much the same as the atheist that I have known tend to think the fathful have abandoned reason.

Daystar, the faithful *have* abandoned reason. Reason is the ability to make judgements based on facts, and facts are ascertained by way of proof. There is insufficient proof for the exisistence of a God, therefore it is *not* a fact, and not reasonable to believe.

To believe in a God necessitates that you abandon reason.

So what you are saying is that even though the Bible said that the world was spherical 1000 years before science did, and that the Bible - Jehovah God's word - was far more ahead of science on many scientific issues we are without reason until science does catch up with it because you have just dismissed it because you can't explain what God is?
