8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoSince we never have all the answers?
Do we always need faith and hope?
Faith when evidence is incomplete and hope
in the absence of evidence.
Consider that quick decisions are vital and
so are risks in one direction or another, we
can't always just wait on evidence and don't
ever have all evidence we want or need.
or
Should doubt, disbelief, skepticism rule us instead?
or
Can we be too much a slave to probability,
slave to our guestimations and assumptions?
What place does faith and hope have then?
5 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoWhat do you think about this quote?
"Faith is needed when the evidence is incomplete; hope when the evidence is against you."
On Rationality and Emotion, Faith and Hope
By George Ellis
If you say that faith and hope is not needed,
you misunderstand life. ALL actions require
either faith or hope. We need them to gain
knowledge! We NEVER have all the answers
yet must take actions while we live or we
miss out - we must take risks daily based
on faith and hope as well as knowledge.

4 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoDo we live to just have "a voice"?
Matters less if the voice is wrong or right, though
right is better of course.
Not live just to make noise, but cognitive noise
of logic and feeling.
And even if no one else is around, so we can
converse with ourselves or a rock or whatever
happens to be around us.
We want to use any clarity we have and be
forever cognizant somehow - to have
conciousness in some way and keep it.
Is conciousness in and of itself what we like
most about life?
The ability to figure things out and express them?
Even if no one else is around to express it to?
Is that our top priority and top reason for not
wanting death?
