A belief held without the support of evidence is a belief held on faith. It's as simple as that. Your objections are just a smokescreen.

Sir you are being deliberately obtuse in face of the definition of biblical faith--which definition is derived by the root word in Greek and its contextual meaning in scripture. You may be a purveyor of your theories, but understand they carry no intellectual credibility.



I'm not the one being obtuse. It is you who is trying to impose a meaning to faith that is not applicable. The bible itself defines faith as a belief held without evidence; Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen - Hebrews.

But maybe you just don't understand the definition or significance of faith.
