This is currently being discussed in the Holy Huddle room, but for those non-Christians who wish to participate, I'm adding the topic here.
Is there proof, reasonable evidence, some evidence, etc for the existence of reality?
Or:
Must we accept some things on a non-rational basis?
Or:
Do you have some response not mentioned above?

Perhaps that is the unwritten definition we gennerally use. Given the stipulation that the first few opinions and beliefs are, of a necessity, non-rational, I'll completely agree with that one.Nameless wrote:Commenting on the OP; perhaps 'proof' might be defined as a 'conclusion' that someone is willing to accept, especially as it conforms to their already held (concluded, identified with) opinions and beliefs?
