I had to come back to this one to see where it ended up since this afternoon.
Esq, your definition of faith (believing in spite of evidence) is apparently unique to you guys.
Drich gave you the correct definitions, yet you come up with one that doesn't exist.
Faith is having belief or confidence in something. PERIOD
That includes Atheists.
You have faith in your car.
If that faith was in spite of evidence- you would would be looking for a reliable one to replace it.
I got rid of the lying clunker that the System foisted on me a long time ago.
The purveyors of evolution make the proverbial used car salesmen look like Mother Teresa.
But then again, the only alternative to creation is this stupid theory of evolution.
So people have to live with it and it gets shoved down everybody's throat until some of us look around at reality and vomit it out like the puke that it is.
