RE: Rational belief
September 19, 2010 at 9:54 pm

Rational and/or logical does not guarantee truth..

Every belief system I've studied formally has its own internal logic.The conclusions just happen to be false or unprovable.Hence I argue that truth may only be discovered via reason AND evidence.

Besides,in my experience, the loopier believers tend to consider evidence as cheating. I refer froot loops such as young earth creationists.
