Evolution: Science or Philosophy

True men of faith acknowledge their falliblity in everything, including their belief. Their faith is not something that depends on themselves, it depends on God, and thus is firmly embedded in a truth that most people do not see.

Søren Kierkegaard described this as a 'leap to faith'. He said that for a person to have faith, whether in God or any other intangible, one must simultaneously have doubt in its existence.

Interesting way of putting it, and it sums it up for me. The people who scare me are the ones that are sure they are right, those are the ones that start little tussles like the inquisition.

That's the same for me. I rather like Leo Tolstoy's 'Christian anarchy' idea as well. It was actually Tolstoy who inspired Ghandi and his peace movement.
