They do not belong together I'm afraid.
It's all semantics I know but to me I would believe something to be true because of the evidence but I could have a belief without any evidence.

Re: Beliefs and Evidence.

Faith needs no evidence so I am told, but it is human to seek evidence and to doubt one's beliefs. The Archbishop of Canterbury stated earlier that he often doubts his beliefs but then regains confidence in his faith.

You will never get an answer to that Patsy

As George Bernard Shaw said what would he say to God if asked at the pearly gates why he didn't have faith .

Re: Beliefs and Evidence.

Fact is based on evidence, the fly in the ointment is not knowing if you have ALL the evidence, and if, what evidence you have is factual.

Re: Beliefs and Evidence.

Forget "Listen to your Heart", it should be rewritten "Listen to your Gut".
