If not then you are a person of faith relying on human testimony, no differently than a person who accepts a human testimony regarding God healing them, or Christ rising from the dead.
So by this same arguement since none of us have ever been in earth orbit we are 'taking it on faith' that the Earth is round? I know all those NASA photos were fake! Have to run I am late for my Flat Earth Society meeting![/QB][/QUOTE]Nice try. I've flown around the world, seen the curved horizon, and ended up back where I started.

You ARE missing the point though, which is, you have to take many things on FAITH, not firsthand experience. Faith is a vital part of the human experience. You can never PROVE someone loves you. You have to have faith, and trust that they do. Without that faith and trust, the relationship does not exist.
