Law courts require a certain standard of objective evidence to prove something, unlike faith which is subjective and can fluctuate wildly from one individual to another. .....
Are you requiring proof (of the supernatural) beyond any doubt? ... ......
Surely you noticed I referenced Law courts which require evidence of varying degree without the requirement of meeting the std. of your 'beyond any doubt'. Let's begin with; Beyond a reasonable doubt , which is the legal burden of proof required to affirm a conviction...meaning one must convince a jury that there is no other reasonable explanation that can come from the evidence presented. Then we have the lower standard of proof called; Preponderance of Evidence. Like I said earlier , we don't know how far down the path of rational explanations you have explored for Israelis winning the war and establishing Israel, before adopting your supernatural belief. Put it this way , if you were on a jury where the defendant was claiming ,the 'hand of God' forced them to kill someone , what would it take you to buy their story? .Would you believe it as easily as you do supernatural intervention on behalf of Israel?
If you were going to explain how everything we know came into existence what would you say? If you don't know, well what do you think was the primal creative force? Even if you subscribe to the big bang (which I sort of do) where did all this energy and matter come from? I am interested in what you believe. We know what you disbelieve.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
