And you know what evolution has grown new limbs. Some creature boast such abilities.

it's no illusion that a Starfish can regrow a limb, but it could have been an illusion that Jesus or God healed the blind ...

the person's blindness could have occured due to hysterics and their sight could have returned once the trauma that cause the blindness disapated

also the person could have been a ringer that was faking blindness to give the illusion that Jesus can heal the blind

this menas if a Starfish can regrow a limb and faith cannot, then faith is nothing but fantasy or a mind frame to bring contentment which is what faith is suppose to be

or faith could be a form of evolution, a way for higher lifeforms to practice training their subconscious to alter reality or their bodies ...but then again to the church this practice would be considered as being witchcraft

I had one of these guy as a pet growing up. Jeremy maybe you have even seen them wild in Florida? I had a male and he did the little throat puff thing and he changed colors. They are called "Anoles" . One day my cat pounced on him and tore off his tail. He lived thank goodness and the tail grew back. It came back in not quite as thick and sturdy as his original and also spiked. But it did regenerate and rather quickly.

These two look as if they were rudely interrupted while getting busy.

Never mind the photo was too large.

On second thought, your right, that is insane.. grin!!

That forum is boring and unengaging. Ive seen it once or twice when a Christian posted a proselytizing thread in GR and the mods moved it. If you have already posted on the thread then you can see it, wherever it gets moved. Their threads never even move up because no one posts in there. There is no warm flesh to convert.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things unseen. we all have a level of faith. faith is simply belief. belief in something materialized before it becomes tangible. that's all. You have faith and you dont even know it.

when everyone within a given space has the same unprovable belief ..it takes on the form of mass hysteria then realization then non-participation

Yup they are all over the place, I remember when I was a kid and learned for the first time how some of these critters can shed there tails, then later regrown then. I about freaked!

I had garbed the little guy and was going to go show my mom when he dropped his tail in my hand, and bounded off, I was actually quite a bit upset, I thought I had hurt him, when I showed my mom the still moving tail she told me that was a normal response to a predator and that it probably didn't hurt the fella. I felt better. I think I was 4 or 5 haha.

Faith is belief without proof, no we don't all have it.

George Michael had faith. Look where it got him.

"Suhnshine" ..when it comes to who has faith...you can only speak for yourself ..not everyone has the ability or the desire to delude themselves

Faith is faith:
... 'belief not substantiated by proof, spiritual acceptance not certified by one's own reason...'

One can deny faith! (one whom wouldn't believe in anything. One whom would only know what one I knows, period)

One can delude in faith! (act as though one had proof for one's faith)

One can deal with the subtly inspirational and poetic dimensions that faith holds, while distinguishing it from material fact! (consciously juggling between the natural and supranatural dimensions of our life)

If one doesn't deny the power of artistic liscense, or the power of abstraction at large, one cannot logically deny the reality of proofless and evidence less faith.

Faith does not mean faith in 'god', faith in 'Jesus', faith in 'buddha', or faith in religious dogma of any type, or theist this or that.

Whichever relationsship one has with faith, faith is just faith!!!

faith can only be associated with religion ...it is the mind frame of religious contentment..it is the hope that some divine entitiy or supernatural force has or will intervene and provide a positive outcome to a given situation

remove the religious aspect from faith and it becomes the true nature of what faith really is.. taking a gamble, playing the odds, taking a chance
