For me the opposite is the case. Empirical evidence for the God of the Bible would convince me that the Biblical stories do not come from anything I would call God but comes instead from an alien manipulating human history. It contradicts one of the reasons I believe and thus the whole point of God for me in the first place.
All knowledge ultimately rests on faith including science because the methods of science do not come from objective evidence. Religious belief is definitely in the realm of personal subjective experience. Its diversity is a clear sign of this. When it comes to the question of religion I am not going to tell anyone what they should believe, or why they should believe it. That’s up to them. However, I when such belief contradicts the findings of science then it is not reasonable and they should be corrected.
Indeed! Their reasons for what they believe are much the same – a search for the honest truth in agreement with their experience of life and what makes for the greatest morality in human life as well.
