[00:00:00]So, imagine that somebody says I'm happy that your faith works for you. However, I would need to see some convincing evidence and proof in order to believe.

[00:00:06]I can't just take it by faith, quote unquote, like you. How would you respond? So, let's actually start here.

[00:00:11]I'm I'm curious to know what you guys would say about this.

[00:00:14]They say, "Oh, you know, I For me, I'm the kind of guy I need evidence. I can't just take it by faith." How do you respond?

[00:00:21]Well, I mean, um someone says I need convincing evidence. I mean, we always want to ask the question that lies you know, point out the thing that lies behind the question. I mean, what what is convincing? I mean, what's convincing for one person is not going to be convincing for another. So, I'd probably ask a a questions that kind of bring out like um you know, the subjective nature of that question. It's not a very good question because Well, not a question, but an assertion. I need convincing evidence.

[00:00:48]Um I would I would point out that that is very subjective and how we interpret the evidence is going to be based upon our presuppositions. So, I'd be curious per hypothetical person, um you know, what are your thoughts on and then I'll ask some more fundamental questions that would impact how they receive my answer to their their previous question, if that makes sense.
