I see scripture supports the use of evidence, logic and reason to determine our path in life...but do you?
You are convinced by the evidence .. but you cannot prove that G-d exists.
In fact, I would say that G-d WANTS us to believe without empirical proof.
1 Thessalonians 5:21-28 "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
There is also ample verses about testing the Prophets, to determine the true and false prophets, how can one test without proofs and evidence?
While searching I found this verse which I have not noticed before.
Jeremiah 28:9 "As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet.”
Interestingly Baha'u'llah said the Baha'i Faith will not be embraced by the Masses until after the Lesser Peace.
