I guess when someone forms a hypothesis, the supposition or proposed explanation made is the substance for the basis of limited evidence of the thing hoped for as a starting point for further investigation for evidence not seen. LOL, that sounds like faith to me.
Then, you're obviously unaware of the definition of a hypothesis, much like many of the things discussed on this forum.

How would you know? ;-)

Money without love, family, friends, and health is what's sad.

Money without the wisdom to properly use it for personal and societal good is what's sad.

Thinking that having money can only lead to greed and selfish pursuits is what's sad.

Even the Bible says "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil".

Can't go wrong if you simply assume that all of your opinions are correct and any counter example has to be a lie. Good way to deal with that annoying disconfirming evidence.

You allowed to serve on juries?

Ah, then faith, it is.

I respect that. And agree...like that is a surprise to anyone....

Had both and what "feels" better is faith...I find it is a gift.

Amazing that so many people dare not use faith to make any other decisions, i.e. buying a car, choosing a doctor, school choices, but they do when determining their eternal fate.
