#585250 — FAITH

FromThe Starmaker <starmaker@ix.netcom.com>
Date2016-06-17 00:33 -0700
SubjectFAITH
Message-ID<5763A7C6.1F1C@ix.netcom.com>
Faith

faith


noun: faith

    1.
    complete trust or confidence in someone or something.


https://www.google.com/#q=define+faith



Like for example...

Science has faith that there is water on Mars.

Science have a complete trust, they are confident there is water on Mars.
They just have to keep the faith, and keep looking. 


Science has faith that there is Life on other planets somewhere in the universe.


Science doesn't need evidence, they have ....Faith.


Deep in the heart of all science is faith...science is based on faith.


Religion too is based on faith.


Faith in God? Sounds ...reasonable.

Nope. No faith needed when there is evidence.

Yes, because there is evidence.

Nope. No faith needed.

Nope. Science says that there MAYBE life on other planets.

You've got that arse about face.
Science doesn't need faith, it has ....evidence.

Gods are all tailored to order. They are made 
to exactly fit the prejudices of the believer.

Why would one look for evidence if they didn't have faith that
evidence might be found?

Who says they have any such faith?

Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream 
up a God superior to themselves. Most 
Gods have the manners and morals of a 
spoiled child.

Who says they don't?

Do you look for your keys on the roof if you lost them in the
basement?

Without faith that the results might be better in one place than
another, why not pick a spot at random to start the search?

Because the evidence you already have points you in the direction you 
try.

What evidence?

If you had evidence, you would have the keys.

How do you know a raccoon hasn't carried the keys from your basement
to your neighbor's roof?

The weakness of your position was exposed and you try to hide it.

My example wasn't about weasels, but maybe one showed up in this
thread anyway.

As for raccoons taking keys:
http://www.freakingnews.com/Raccoon-with-Stolen-Car-Keys-Pictures-28023.asp


http://www.ricka.org/Conservation/racoons.html
Raccoons are naturally curious creatures with a "pack rat" tendency
and will raid campsites for pretty shiny things including aluminum
foil, car keys, ...

If you don't know where your keys are, you don't know where they are
... or that they remain in the last location you left them.

You got pwnd, didn't you?

It was illustrated in the parts of the post you snipped.

Why did you snip the parts you didn't like?

If you don't know where the keys are, you don't know that a raccoon
didn't run off with them.

But a weasel would never admit that.

What is your obsession with trying to deflect?

You are desperate to reset the conversation to a point where you can
take some new approach aren't you?

You got pwnd in the argument as it unfolded and now you are trying to
run away with attempts to to make light of irrelevant minutia.

Here is where you started running in earnest (after the warmup with at
least one previous wannabe-deflecting question):

:>What evidence?

You didn't answer that question. Why not? Maybe because it was a
bullshit claim.

If your faith in your reconstruction of events from your fallible
memory points you to searching in the basement, what is your
"evidence" that the keys are still there?

I strongly disagree. I have read Sir WallyJi for many years, WallyJi
has always been cogent, insightful, and concise. Deal with it BitchJD.

Now you're time traveling. And you called me desperate for mentioning
a raccoon.

Taking things a step at a time for those among us who are the slow,
and in chronological order for those without a time machine:

1. You lost your keys (for the exceptionally slow among us, that means
you don't know where they are -- in the present).
2. Why would you look for your keys in the basement without faith that
you might find them there?

Again, for the slow among those of us who experience time moving in
only one direction, you haven't found them yet -- they are still lost
as you decide where to start looking for them.

>You're insane.

You're desperate.

The word despicable might occur to some.

Why would she would look in the basement if there is more light on the

Because I didn't find them anywhere else I looked.

You start with the most likely places and then you move to the unlikely 
places.

Why have you turned this basic activity into insanity?

So you looked other places first.

What happened to your "evidence" here when I asked about where to
*start* the search?

So you acted contrary to your "evidence" and started your search
elsewhere. And you call me insane.

You are not acquitting yourself well.

Maybe you should admit defeat and quit.

So the most likely place was *not* the basement ... because?

>Why have you turned this basic activity into insanity?

Why have you turned the request for a simple answer into further
embarrassment for yourself?

I asked "what evidence" and you have spewed irrelevancies.

You didn't have "evidence" did you? You only had faith concerning the
most likely place to find the keys; and you denied even that faith by
starting your search somewhere else.

For one, to deflect attention from the question, "what evidence?"

Ask them.

You do want to know, don't you?
