* We have intuition for this reason. Furthermore, what constitutes evidence is not always agreed upon universally.

* not all truths have evidence, not all evidences have truths

* Yes! You can believe anything without evidence, but does not mean it is true.

* That’s the definition of belief.

* It’s not true, without evidence

* Could we then define « truth?”

* Because real truth is experiential.

* Definition of Faith isn’t it

* Either you believe out of faith or out of logical examination . thats just the two options you have and most believe things out of faith because they dont want to think

* Only by putting their critical thinking tools(reason) down and by utilizing FAITH….

* I know I exist now, no evidence needed

* The Truth is what it is & it need not justify itself… It doesn’t have to fit into our tiny, limited, incomplete, comprehension ….we don’t govern what the principles of the truth are,.. it’s up to us to seek & understand it & live it

* The power of spell-ing words.

* If the logic is sound, the need for physical and empirical evidence lessens. Ofcourse the problem is that most cant tell the difference between a logical fallacy and a banana.
