I can feel the air if i move my open hand fast enough and i see the effect it has in the form of wind on everything (ie hurricane etc..) I feel air everytime i breathe it is something i can touch , feel , see.. clouds are water vapor. I belive air exists because i have proof that it does and i can show this proof to others but what can you show as proof?

Of course he was. I see him everywhere it's called Blind Faith

Just like you, you breather air but have you seen air, no you've seen clouds so how do you believe in air?

He need not proof. He has Blind Faith.

Ya something that you have no idea of One-Way. When you ask a person a question or to think about something & that make childish remarks that means they have no answer & there trying to be funny.

He need not proof. He has Blind Faith.

Pep, being able to see something is not the only prerequisite for its existence. Besides sight, we have other senses and with them we can verify the existence of air, not to mention scientific tests which verify the specific gases that make it up. You used a bad analogy.

Religious claims are not subject to verification like the existence of air. You said accurately that religion is blind faith which implies there is no evidence for it, so don't try to find evidence because there is none.

Do you want to know what is extremely frustrating?

It's frustrating when people like you are so ignorant about the world around them. Do you even understand the basic ideas of evolution?

In some sense, it's not your fault because you weren't provided with the proper education about evolution, but on the other hand, it is your fault because you're so closed minded and you're unwilling to ask questions.

It's people like you who don't understand what evolution is and say stupid things like:

so I take it you believe we cme from apes where is Lucy?

Re: How Much of the Bible Must Be Historical to Believe?

What I'm saying is you're right when you said religion is blind faith. If there was evidence it would cease to be faith and would move into the realm of knowledge.

As far as where we came from. Lets just say some theories are better than others. Evolution makes the most sense to me because I can actually see similarities in species we are closely related to, and there is a massive archaeological record to draw from. Most importantly, the knowledge and conclusions get updated based on new evidence. Now compare this to a story which has no evidence besides a single text which is a translation of a translation of a translation scribbled down from second and third-hand sources by someone who lived in a society of illiteracy, ignorance and superstition.
