[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 209876, member: 195"] First, please, don't tell me what I am. I suspect that you mean presuppositionalist, and you would be wrong. I'm not a presuppostionalist but a post-foundationalist. You may be familiar with the historian of science, Thomas Kuhn and his book [I]The Structure of Scientific Revolutions[/I]. Fwiw, I've been using the word, "faith," as accepting something as true without proof, i.e typically based on the authority of another. That is not the same as without evidence, and I think it's a fairly standard definition. It also corresponds with how Kuhn used it in [I]Structure[/I]. Although you didn't mention it here, my focus has been on your reference to evolution. I wonder if your unwillingness to start a thread where you lay out the case for your belief in evolution arises from the fact that, as you say: [INDENT]You are a prepositionalist so there is not point in arguing with you, you have your faith on things and no evidence will ever change your mind. [/INDENT] Of course, you can prove me wrong on this score by actually starting the thread. [/QUOTE]
