[MarkBsnr]

***Of course a Calvinist would say God provides our faith, the reason. Faith is not a blind leap.***

Of course it is. Faith by definition differs wholly and substantially from reason and proof. The only way that someone could say that their faith was not blind was if they were Gnostic.

There is evidence, sure. I have experienced holy places and been unable to describe or even understand them. I have also experienced one encounter with concentrated evil and cannot describe or be wholly coherant about it either.

We have evidence, but not proof. We have experiences but not substantiation.

[Gamecock]

Lack of understanding does not translate into a blind leap. People get on airplanes everyday and have no understanding of how they work, yet they have faith that they will arrive at their destination safely.

Conversely, my grandmother thought the moon walk was fake and rasslin’ was real, in spite of all evidence to the contrary.
