Faith A Dialogue

[T]here's a lot of proof. It's just not going to be understood without faith. 

Postmodernists are wrecking math and science right now, for that reason. 

[Faith] also allows you to connect the evidence, and see the patterns for what they really mean. 

The truth is, there's philosophers arguing over the validity of Addition. Saying it's a Western Concept. At some point, you need faith in the thing, to accept it. Because, truthfully, 1 + 1 = 2 takes 360+ pages to prove, and you're not going to understand that. So, faith is generally a way of understanding what is true, without having to go into the nitty gritty. And the fact is the Bible's Canon is established in real life witnesses of those things--we know this through Papias--so there's an established credibility within the canon, that also gets corroborated by LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of archeology.

[F]irst principles are [hard] to figure out[.] It's not easy. You have to be at least a 140IQ person, and most of knowledge has become democratized. There needs to be some faith on the established traditions, that we got it right, including the documents in the Church handed down by the Church Fathers and Apostles. Most of this confusion needs a lot of specialized knowledge to unravel, and when you do, you find out the scholars are lying.
