[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you believe in radio frequencies?

Do you believe in cell phone frequencies?

Do you believe in oxygen?

These are all things that day to day we can't see, smell, taste, or touch.  But they are all around us, in our homes, schools, work.  And we weren't always advanced enough to know it existed scientifically.  [/quote]

But we can measure all of those things.  Easily.

And we did NOT believe in them until there was evidence they existed.

Bad example.[/quote]

It's actually an excellent example.

The resurrection of Jesus was witnessed by thousands of people.[/quote]

These are all terrible examples. Yes, these are things that cannot be "seen" by the naked eye. However, we don't "believe" they are real. We "know" they are real due to observation and scientific experimentation. If you don't want to "believe" in them, then come up with your own experiments and data that would change scientific consensus.

Beliefs don't work that way. They are not observable. They are not testable.  [/quote]

To the poster who quoted CS Lewis, while his writing is prosaic, it still provides no reasonable claim in defense of religion. I can make flowery statements too, but they do nothing to support believing in something that doesn't exist.
