You can lead a horse to the water, but the horse will only drink it if he is thirsty.
Real evidence cannot just be explained away. Sure the occasional nutjob will try to do that, but they're just lying to themselves.
I'm not in the habit of doing that. That's why I'm no longer a Christian. If you present real evidence I won't just blow it off.
Of course real evidence can be explained away. Humans possess great imaginations.
But Rahul, since you are persistent I do want to help you. First I want you to clarify for me what your worldview is. Are you a naturalist? What I mean is this: does your view of reality allow for the existence of the transcendant or do you rule that out a priori?

It's not just faith/religion I have a problem with just accepting, but everything in life that has a faulty argument.
I am like you then. I have a problem with faulty arguments. I detest them.
