Pastor Ray Comforts faith told him the Cavendish banana (a result of hybridization by man) was designed perfectly that way by his god. Prime example where faith does not lead to truth. Keep the flock ignorant and where you want them.

Would you kindly explain how and why that statement is truth?
Faith is a belief held without the support of evidence. Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, etc, etc, have faith in their own version of God or gods and theology, their own 'truth,' but logically they can't all have the truth, what they believe contradicts each other. What is being believed on faith is not necessary true and factual.
Your response is understandable and accurate to some degree - however, you have provided nothing that proves, or even demonstrates, truth in your original statement. It is neither simple, nor easy.
Did you actually read what he wrote?'"Faith is a belief held without the support of evidence."
Yes, I read it and can see what was requested. He offered zero proof, of anything. Kindly explain how you see "proof" in his mere expression of a view "Faith is a belief held without the support of evidence".
Google "dictionary" then type in "faith"
mauserand9mm, thanks, however I did not ask for a definition - seems like I learned that a long time ago. (copied one below for you). For clarity, I asked the poster to provide "proof" of his statement about the way to truth. Have you seen that yet? Definition of faith 1a : allegiance to duty or a person : b(1) : fidelity to one's promises (2) : sincerity of intentions 2a(1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b(1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof clinging to the faith that her missing son would one day return (2) : complete trust 3 : something that is believed especially with strong conviction especially : a system of religious beliefs the Protestant faith on faith: without question took everything he said on faith faith verb faithed; faithing; faiths transitive verb archaic: believe, trust
"firm belief in something for which there is no proof" seems a lot like "...a belief held without the support of evidence." So, DBT uses a valid definition of faith, and clarified which one he intended, but somehow you are still arguing this is a valid pathway to truth, or are you arguing for a different definition of faith as a pathway to truth?
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
