When Truth Be Strange, Fiction Becomes Truth.
People seldom seek strong evidence for what they already believe to be true. This relieves them of the need to think for themselves. It's much easier when others do your knowing for you.
Beware! That way danger lies.
It was sad to hear a religious teacher say to her students: "For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who do not, no proof is possible."
Perhaps it is not possible to prove the existence (or non-existence) of God. That does not absolve us from the moral duty to try to understand as much as we can about the workings of Creation.
We were created with minds and the ability to think. We have an obligation to use both.
