[Serious] Time to embrace Islam!

[LadyForCamus]

I would argue the opposite is true. Belief is (or should be) borne of one’s confidence level in the truth of a proposition. If there is substantial evidence in support of a particular truth claim, then my confidence level in that truth claim will be high, and belief is generated. I cannot choose to believe in god any more than you can choose to believe in Santa Clause.

I think we agree.  Belief is chosen through faith in experiences, knowledge, and evidence gathered.  What an individual considers sufficient evidence is where we start to differ.  We both could agree that what we call wind exists.  We can feel the effects of it but we can’t see it.  There is some evidence missing regarding wind (sight).  We still choose to believe it exists because we can see the effects of the wind and feel it.  Your belief in science and mine in creation are similar.  There is evidence for both but the argument always goes to what evidence is.

Attempting to conflate the nature of scientific evidence with whatever it is you consider to be evidence for god won't work, because they simply don't have enough in common to be comparable. I think you underestimate how well we actually understand what wind is and how it works. We understand it so well, in fact, that trained professionals can make consistently accurate predictions about how and when it will behave:

In meteorology, winds are defined based on their strength and direction. Short and violent high speed winds are known as gusts while strong winds over extended durations are known as squalls. Highly violent and longer-duration winds are linked to various names such as storm, gale, and hurricane. The pressure difference arises due to temperature changes and varying climate zones across the planet.

The rotation of the earth is also a significant contributing factor as it brings about what is termed as the Coriolis Effect. Wind is an important agent of seed dispersal. Contrariwise, strong winds can cause major destructions to buildings and plants, the spread of wildfires, and leads to soil erosion.

Could you please provide the detailed mechanisms of action for how god acts?
