There is nothing for which we have proof that we use "faith" as a means of validation. That tells you all you need to know in the argument of how strong "faith" is in the realm of proof - somewhere well below actual evidence.



Can you see or touch love? Do you doubt it's existence? Sure you can see physical manifestations of love in peoples actions, but can you see the emotion itself? Does that make it any less real?

You don't have to see or touch something to have actual evidence it exists. "Love" itself is a social construct to explain emotions controlled by chemicals that have evolved and proven beneficial to the human (and some other social species') species. We can prove those emotions, chemicals, and actions exist. "Love" is just the concept we use to explain them, mainly because we weren't scientists when we began to explain it.

So, no, I can't see the actual "love", but like I said in the very post to which you replied, you don't have to see and touch something to have concrete evidence of its existence.

Your argument is going to be that you "feel" god therefore you know he exists, just like love. And, I'll agree that "god" is similar to love in that it is a social construct that we attribute to emotions and needs.


As, far as Tebow, he seems like an ok dude. He's a religious nut, but a lot of people are.
