[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an atheist who lost faith, and then found faith, after many years.

I think faith or lack of faith can ebb and flow. [/quote]

I think so, too.  [/quote]

I disagree.

[b]Once you look objectively and see there is no evidence for god (by the definitions of god most used) there really is no ebb or flow.[/b]

It's actually wonderful, liberating, and permanent - at least until some evidence arises.[/quote]

There was definitely ebb and flow in my case too, so that makes three of us on this thread.[/quote]

What evidence did you find that made you “ebb and flow” back to faith?

Forgive my presumption, but I assume you mean you fought between your acknowledgment that there is insufficient evidence and some other emotion?  Is that accurate?

Science requires proof, religious belief requires faith. Scientists don't try to prove or disprove God's existence because they know there isn't an experiment that can ever detect God.

Evidence does not reduce to scientific evidence alone. Evidence is any kind of fact, proof or argumentation that supports an idea. There are many theological evidences and logical proofs. Whether or not you find them convincing is a different matter.[/quote]
