Re: Mind's Eye Re: Aliens

I don't agree that everything reasonable is factual but there you have it.  We are probably both wrong.

Once faith leaves the realm of "unreasonable" it becomes fact.  Your belief system may incorporate faith, but it is not necessary.  You can claim belief in substantive things or ideals or nor at all.  It is a mechanism.   Facts and probabilities are also part of a valid belief system but faith requires that the adherent relies on the metaphysical.

I whole heartedly disagree with your last statement here.  Faith can be beyond reason, but doesn't need to be necessarily. It is reasonable for me to believe that living by the ten commandments can lead to as good a life as living by Stephen Covey's 7 habits. It may not be reasonable to believe that after I have lost everything of value in this world, the Lord will provide and things will get better.  My experience is, they do. Is it because I believe? That might be a reasonable explanation.
