I'm not sure what kind of "evidence" everybody is
looking for.  The evidence is all around you every
moment of every day.  Are you looking for something
more?  If so, good luck finding some other truth.!

Hi DMB, All,

In the thread on demanding evidence for religious bleiefs, I suggested that
"If religious claims are intended as some other sort of non-scientific
non-historical assertions then these assertions need not face such demands
for evidence on historical-scientific terms. If people making such
assertions do indeed intend something clearly different in purpose from
historical and scientific inquiry and can articulate in what other ways, if
not scientifically and historically, these claims may be regarded as true,
then perhaps it can indeed be made coherent to say as is so often claimed by
theists that there is indeed no conflict between science and religion. Such
does not seem possible for theists of the Fundamentalist or Orthodox
Catholic variety, but perhaps it is possible for more liberal theists to
distinguish religious truth from scientific-historical truth."

I'm wonderring whether you have any thoughts on how a belief might be
thought of as true if not historically or scientifically true, and what the
criteria for such truth may be like. For example, would Joseph Campbell
assert in some way that a myth is true?

Best,
Steve
