“I have tried, of course, to be faithful to the evidence. Yet evidence is not truth. It is only evident.”
“For those with faith, no evidence is necessary; for those without it, no evidence will suffice.”
“Faith is the evidence of the unseen.”
“Today I found yet more evidence that I’m a lunatic. The proof came in a package in the mail. The sender? Myself. The evidence? Tampered with.”
“Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is the belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.”
“The difference between faith and insanity is that faith is the ability to hold firmly to a conclusion that is incompatible with the evidence, whereas insanity is the ability to hold firmly to a conclusion that is incompatible with the evidence.”
