It seems like you're contradicting yourself.
I think for some people it's not seeing is believing, it's believing is believing. They believe in belief, not in understanding.
Because while science isn't perfect, the imperfections are identified and outlined where possible, while with faith the imperfections are what makes belief possible at all.
Sure, that's just one of many cognitive biases humans have. The problem is pretty much everything is deniable if you do enough mental gymnastics, thus the reason cognitive biases are identified and should be kept in mind when deciding one's beliefs. |
Religion is contradictory! lol
My point is only that for an Atheist to believe in God, there would have to be undeniable proof of God.
For a Christian to cease belief in God, there was have to be undeniable proof of no-God.
That said, I'm tapping out of this conversation. I feel like I'm going in circles and I'm struggling to make myself clear. I disagree with religion, I disagree with Atheism. You're all a bunch of weirdos and I'm taking my ball and going home!
