<div class="quote_poster">Chutney Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Yea, but all your knowledge comes from scientific laws and empirical capability (the senses, etc.). And all of that is based on the idea of causation. So, its basically a belief that patterns that have happened in the past will always repeat themselves. And that's just as big a leap of faith when you think about it. The Sun has set for hundreds of millions of years, but is that guarantee that it will do the same tomorrow? That's the point I'm trying to make about certainty (For the record, it applied just as much, if not more, to Umair as it did to you. I just quoted your post because it seemed like a good place to make my point).
Didn't mean to put words in your mouth. And no, I don't believe in creationism.</div>
Of course there's no certainty. If there were, why else would we be having this back-and-forth?
You're pointing out things that are borderline irrelevant to the discussion and babbling on like a first year philosophy major.
And if you don't believe in creationism, I would assume you believe in evolution, or some offshoot of the theory?

Your faith is rooted in fear. You were brought up by your parents and your culture to believe a certain way, and it's so deeply implanted into your subconscious, that you're afraid to question it. Therefore, you rely on bullshit explanations like, "faith."
The sad thing is, if you were born to white Anglo-Saxon parents, then you'd probably be an radical right-wing Christian. You're a product of your environment and not your own independent thought, Umair.
