For me, there are forces outside of the scope and size of just me...
There seems to be a 'natural' order to the world; 'natural' rules/consequences/outcomes, again that are outside my simple positive thinking.
e.g.) the universal truth - you reap what you sow.
The degree to which you live by these, swim in these streams (or whatever analogy you wish to use) determines how the world and your world evolve... maybe...
I believe in an external force, which I call God.
All hard to describe and as ever, ymmv.
with cool outfits.
and boobs if needed.
My lived experience poses questions.
...he said enigmatically... But can we really choose what to believe? And should we if so? You stated ambition does seem to raise those questions for me.
And then going on, I do wonder, in my case at least, how having a belief in a God would help - I guess for some it does provide a sense of meaning and comfort, but I would still want to know what the actual point of God was - indeed, can anything, including God, ultimately be said to have any meaning at all?
I suppose I'm getting towards existentialism or something here. And just to add that it was definitely not my intention when starting this thread to provoke any kind of God vs Science argument - more just a bit of philosophical discussion.

Of course you can. Even people who believe in science are making that choice. Science is not only a belief system, but a very recent one too. It is the latest truth. When you consider modern man has existed for about 200,000 years and civilisation for 7,000 years, its amazing that we got all the way to a few hundred years ago without any science!
What you do with the results might be part of a belief system, but the testing method is not. And it's not recent. Every time someone thought "I wonder" and tested it, or did something twice and got different results and wondered why - that's science.

Rather than enigmatically, let me state emphatically, there are things in my lived experience, nobody else's, that I choose to assign to the "faith" category. It has become relevant to me. However I'm not a double glazing salesman, I'm not trying to convince anybody of nothing...merely sharing my experiences. Hate the logic ( again your word ) it makes not a blind bit of difference that you don't share my position..why should it?
Unless of course you're God...then I'm fucked.

Besides which, saying "science is not a belief system" isn't arrogance, it's a statement of fact, with which you agreed earlier in your post. You feeling all right?
