Kira Nerys: That’s the thing about faith. If you don’t have it you can’t understand it, and if you do – no explanation is necessary.

Which is not Biblically true. There is no one without faith, which Biblically is not belief without evidence (as atheistic sources may define it), but as said in my last post, it is confidence based on a degree of evidential warrant.

An atheist beliefs his denial is warranted on the basis of naturalistic explanations, and what he/she sees as a lack of compelling evidence for a Creator, though such may postulate a "space seed" hypothesis.

But such cannot evidence how a universe could exist without a First Cause, and their arguments for its complexity on the basis of naturalistic explanations are far from compelling.

Nothing in the quote says that ones belief is true or must be true. A persons belief can be false and yet their faith in that belief is true will be unshakable.

No faith alone does not make something true, but true faith is unshakable.
