How does that axiom about faith go? "The substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen"? It's by coincidence somethingrandm posted about this today; I'd been thinking about it for a while. What makes belief, and why do we have it? I don't just mean the big stuff, like spirituality. I mean the simple stuff. Like, Santa Claus or talking about a no-hitter while it's in progress...
