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 GodSince I don’t 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.
