"blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29

"Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29
"Bias in science is bad science, Bias in religion is faith" Sam Harris
Belief without evidence is bad science. Belief without evidence is good religion.
I don't think this argument is about winning or changing minds, it is about opening minds to facts, possibilities, and knowledge. I do not believe traditional faith argument or bible verses may change my mind because I have a full life of faith and understanding of the bible. I used to believe in all the religious answers and justifications. I used to think faith and science are compatible because I used to have little knowledge. It became clear that religion and science are not and will never be consistent. It is terrifying to get out of the comfort zone and question a lifelong belief based on no evidence. It must be embarrassing to realize the chains people have around their neck wrists and ankles all their life do not actually exist
