What is Faith? to me being married and trusting that my wife will always be faithful to me is a good definition of Faith.although I’m on my third marriage now,i feel that I have more Faith than ever.Having Faith in believing in God and the bible have become more important to me as I grow older and wiser.Dinosaurs? Cavemen? maybe partially the devils work.How else can We possibly explain our existence without God?sure the evidence is there in black and white but that evidence doesn’t explain our Spirit and what happens when we die.I can feel god but I cant feel a fossil or a dinosaur bone.

No. Faith is hoping that you pass an exam despite totally fucking up the finals.
Otherwise, faith is pretty overrated.
Are you drunk?! Nah, just a Fundie! Perhaps, faith does not work since you are on your third marriage, yes?
What happens when we die...
Well, we don´t know exactly what happens when we die (Near Death experiences are what it says, near death, not after death ;) ).
So it is only naturally that you cannot explain what happens after you die, as you don´t know what happens thereafter ;)
"although I’m on my third marriage now"
Please don't think that disqualifies you in any way to preach to other people about having morals and how they should look up to you because you've found the one true religion, and discard the teachings of science and medicine (unless you need some medical help to stay alive and all).
Unless you have been widowed twice, which would be most unfortunate, then you are not of any faith. The Lord Jesus disapproved of divorce... You can't change that. So, unless a double widower, then I cry Humbug.
How to feel a fossil:
Pick it up!
The same for bones!
"I can feel god but I cant feel a fossil or a dinosaur bone."
What an amazing coincidence. I can't feel any god, but I can feel the Utahraptor claw on my desk.
"but I cant feel a fossil or a dinosaur bone"
Should have stayed awake when the science teacher passed around a trilobite fossil, you might have learned something.
"sure the evidence is there in black and white but that evidence doesn’t explain our Spirit and what happens when we die."
The fact that religions provide explanations of what happens when people die doesn't at all mean that those explanations are true. There is no credible evidence showing that people have souls or that heaven or hell exist.
"I can feel god"
Prove it.
"but I cant feel a fossil or a dinosaur bone."
No, not until you actually touch one.
I can feel god
Look, I don't want to hear about your sex life.
I cant feel a fossil or a dinosaur bone
Really? I've got some fossils you can feel, if you ask nicely.
“What is Faith? to me being married and trusting that my wife will always be faithful to me is a good definition of Faith.”
No, it’s not.
Faith is a belief without evidence or in spite of counter evidence. TRUST is built up on experience. That’s evidence.
I trust my wife will be faithful because she’s demonstrated trustworthiness.
Now, after four decades together, i have FAITH that she’s BEEN trustworthy, all day and every day for all that time, despite not having had her under 24/7 surveillance.
“although I’m on my third marriage now,i feel that I have more Faith than ever.”
That’s more like hope, actually.
“Having Faith in believing in God and the bible have become more important to me as I grow older and wiser.”
Older is unavoidable. Wise?
We’ll see.
“Dinosaurs? Cavemen? maybe partially the devils work.”
And there you go, shooting yourself right in the wise.
“How else can We possibly explain our existence without God?”
Same way you explain it without Ptah, or Leprechauns, or Djinn.
“sure the evidence is there in black and white but that evidence doesn’t explain our Spirit and what happens when we die.”
What makes you think ANYTHING happens when we die?
“I can feel god but I cant feel a fossil or a dinosaur bone.”
Come over here by the worktable and put your head down. I can make you feel a fossil.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
