Why not?
Absolutely believing in god and absolutely NOT believing in god are just as arbitrary as believing something in the middle. 'Just-so' stories aren't inherently inferior.
Believe what you want.
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoNo, believe what you think the evidence says. (And if you believe that the evidence is inconclusive, then be an agnostic.)
- dhruvkar 10y ago"Belief" implies agreeing with or without evidence, otherwise it would be fact - no need for belief. Even if it wasn't so, the evidence IS inconclusive. I think our hacker, left-brain bias leads to dismissing anything that isn't cold fact, as invalid. I BELIEVE validity rises from people's experiences, so a little benefit-of-doubt goes a long way to respecting people's experiences.
