Belief that lacks evidence is reasonable?! :S

Quote: If I do not have faith that our orbit around the sun and revolutions will continue every day... then I've got precious little to count on, and am easy prey for death and suffering. Smile

There's plenty of evidence for that of course... so you are not having faith by believing it. It certainly doesn't lack evidence.

EvF

Don't you need faith in the confidence of the faculties (eyesight, memory or intelligence) in order to have and believe such evidence?

Saerules was making the point that on some level the reailty of the universe (in terms of truths) requires faith.
