And his baby analogy is idiotic as well. The baby is looking for its mother because of instinct. I know that he's trying to say that our existential curiosity is also instinctual (in which case he'll need more than an assertion to convince me), but even if it were, there's a huge difference between a baby looking for an absent parent because it's hungry/dirty/lonely in a physical sense than someone striving to gain understanding.
But, yeah. It's pretty clear he chose his definition so he can play the tired, "See? Even atheists go on faith!" idiocy.
Hey this is only exhibit one. I thought it fitting that the first crack be delivered from within the church.
I think once we get all the calcified doctrine off of it you'll like faith just fine. We'll see.
