And as I said, belief can be based on very shaky evidence. After all, you can easily change a belief if more credible evidence to the contrary comes up. But a belief without any reason is rare outside religion. Example: If I told you, that I believe there is an invisible dragon living in my garage, who eats nothing but jelly beans you would probably ask why I believe that. If I respond that I have no reason, I just choose to believe that, you'd probably think me a bit strange. But If I told you I believe an invisible all powerful, omniscient being created the world, also without provideing any reason why this should be true, thats suddenly ok. |
