Then you'll probably wait a long time. I doubt that you'll ever get 'enough' evidence to make a decision that isn't, at least, partly built on faith.

So many things in life that we pursue require faith: sitting on my chair (It's never let me down), driving across a bridge in Milwaukee (It's never let me down), marrying my sweetheart (she's never let me down), getting a shot for Covid (doctors have never let me down)...

Ya see where I'm going?

All of the above involve a future that we cannot possibly know - yet we have to have faith in the past to be able to trust what the future may hold.

I don’t call those things “faith” - it’s playing the odds based on experience and evidence - observing cause and effect and learning from it.

You don’t jump off cliffs because nobody has done it and come out in good shape (unless they were parasailing).
