Faith, according to the Bible, is
not a blind leap in the dark. Faith is based on evidence. I believe in God because I see evidence of Him in the following areas: (1) Causation, both first and final, (2) Moral, (3) Best evidence. See
A Review of the Proofs for the Existence of God
Since I dont accept the bible as having validity on this point, and that giving it validity is in itself an act of faith (by my definition,) it doesn't look like you and I will ever agree. So I won't argue the point with you.
Regards.
