[One of the beauties of faith is that it asks to make the jump beyond logic.]

I don’t necessarily think that is the case- while the majority of folks, including myself, took that leap of faith, and had little knowledge of science at hte time, I think we needn’t suspend logic as their is enough evidences in science to highly suggest a Designer- so if the logic is available, then all of us who did take the leap of faith aren’t taking that leap with nothign to back up a reasonable leap of faith- even htough we may not be aware of the logic at the time.

I wasn’t necessarily talking about ID when I mentioned the “jump beyond logic.” If anything, I was referencing the comfort that faith provides during adversity. For instance, parents who see their kid mowed down by a truck. The comfort faith provides allows them to “know” he’s in a better place rather than simply reduced to hamburger.

Those who call belief “myth” and “fairy tales” would rob people of that kind of comfort.
