just because you believe in something (nothing wrong with that) doesnt mean its true. and "because i say so" is not the most convincing argument in the world (unless backed with threats of violence)

glad u understand then smile.gif ive deliver and tell what ive been told. My job is done. Glad to know u all, hope i can learn more. In the end the truth is just matter of opinions..

you it is you who failed to understand. truth is truth regardless of opinions. the solar system is heliocentric despite popular opinion in the middle ages that it is geocentric.

and truth can only be discovered by using reasoning and analysis, it is never through faith that truth is discovered.

reasoning is "xxx happens because of yyy, zzz, aaa, and bbb"
faith is "xxx will happen because i say so"

You are right because truth is never meant to be the result of faith. But only through faith would you even begin reasoning in the first place.

so someone who's faithless is brainless as well? since they cant even begin to reason...

do u reason without having faith in your facts? lol dude?  laugh.gif

all endeavours begin with faith. all.

faith does not come into play. i do not believe my facts to be true, i know my facts to be true within the boundary set.
