for you, when you say 'to see is to believe', do you also mean,since I don't see, I don't believe? Now, this is the question, have you seen the creator? If not, do you believe that you are created by the most powerful God? We haven't seen Him, right? But we believe..... What can you say about it?

Believing in God is a spiritual thing, not really a seeing thing. you see God in a spiritual way, not a visual way. God is everywhere and at the same time, and HE doesnt have a specific form because HE is a SPIRIT, not human. so no one really sees GOD, but if you believe in HIM, you will feel is Spirit, HIS strength and HIS power with you and all around you.

'the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence' Just because one does not see it, does not mean it is proof that it does not exist. No one has ever seen God, and if they had, it's debatable. But reality is in actuality subjective. Because no one can see reality objectively. Everyone's opinion is bias and vain. So when people belive in the one God, or gods, or pagan, or aliens etc. and whatever, they are creating and percieving reality in the way they choose to believe it. So no one can really say whatever they believe is wrong, even if it is groundless, because you cannot argue their creativity. And they cannot argue against yours.

I guess it depends on what it is that one is discussing. . .ghosts? alien beings? fairies?. . .or as you say, God. I can't see cancer, but I know this disease exists. Again, I think it depends on what subject you're discussing at the moment. . . . . but I think it actually is more like, "I Believe. Therefore, I see."

Hello, Rodeliza. Not always. You don't need necessarily see in order to believe. This is where faith comes in. For example, dinossaurs. Have you ever seen a dinossaur, live? No, only in movies, but you can't know if they are real. There are evidences, though, proving that they existed. This is why I believe in them. In the same way, love. You can't see love. You have never seen love as a visual being. However, you can feel it. This is why you believe in it. Love exists because there are evidences proving you. So, vision is not what should define your beliefs. There are the proofs. You should first of all see if there are any proofs of what you are believing in. If not, then it's up to you wether have faith in it or just forget it. Respectfully, Munhozmib.
