Faith vs Evidence
Faith doesn't require evidence, faith is the evidence of what we believe (things that has not seen). Why do Christians look for evidence in science? If we look at the history lots of scientist, philosophers, and mathematicians based their study on the bible. Because at one point, it was regarded as the pinnacle science study (some still think it is). Many of them were proven wrong or when they were right, they were persecuted because of heresy. But my point is, it's only natural that humans look at science to satisfy their curiosity and also to confirm their faith and glorify God (for those who believe in God).
It's like we are born with the capability to learn and grasp the concept of language, but which specific language is determined by cultural and environmental influence. The same with religion, humans are born with the desire to have faith in something greater and bigger than their existence. You may argue that you don't believe in God, but do you cross your finger and wear your good-luck-charm jersey while watching your favorite baseball player performs his superstitious routine before throwing the ball and hoping that 'knock-on-wood' he doesn't served a home-run ball?
Whatever you may call it, religion, superstition, or stupidity (remember Einstein), I think it is embedded in our gene. I don't have any prove but a lot of studies are on going to understand that desire of ages. Why? Perhaps because once we are born, we are on a conveyor belt of humanity that ultimately face the grim fate of death. And this is where Christianity (Jesus) comes in and promises everlasting life (John 3:16). Yes, it has created many wars and inhumane persecutions, but those are due to corrupt leadership, greed, power and free-will. Communism, which of course supported atheism and science as the only explanation, also faced the same problems. And the last time I checked the Soviet Unions are now many different nations.
So, whether we eat and breath from the same tube is a poor quality design or, we backward evolve from a PERFECT human being, who suppose to only eat seeds and fruits -Genesis 1:29- degraded into a disease-laden-prone-to-accident-sinful-nature being is a question of faith. (most of choking incidents are due to meat products, drugs/alcohol influence, neurological deficit or anatomic difficulty with swallowing). http://www.aemj.org/cgi/content/abstract/13/5_suppl_1/S49-a
Both sides can argue that all the evidence pointing to one's conclusion. Just like why do we evolve to stand up right? We are the only mammals that stand on two feet. It makes us slower, easier target to predators, and funny looking! http://www.world-science.net/exclusives/060221_unertanfrm.htm
But who cares right? We don't know for sure what make humans came out of the jungle to savannas. Or were there really any savannas? Just like the case when men prefer women with bigger breast, evolution teaches that it is because of bigger breast means more fertile. But, an alien from Jupiter might observe that bigger breast means a better economic value or anything but reproduction. Just look at all the ads. Filled of women.
I think I better stop. It's starting to drag (long time ago).
Thank you for reading and God Bless!
