You test the natural with science that was developed within the natural and the supernatural by faith. [/quote Wrote:[quote=travish Faith isn't a method to test claims. Faith is necessary only when you have an utter lack of empirical evidence for something. You have yet to demonstrate why having faith in something is at all reasonable or reflects something that is true or demonstrable in any context.
Why isn't faith a method to test? You use faith every day, when you sit in a chair you have faith that it's going to hold you up. When you sit down with someone behind the chair you have faith that he/she will not pull that chair out from under you and cause you to bruise your butt.Faith is more a part of everyone's life than we think about
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
