faith and evidence

A quick comment on the relationship of faith to evidence.

It's faith all the way. There does however, need to be an actual physical counterpart to the Gospel. This might be Christ's human body, a miracle or a community of compassion. None of these things can form part of a conclusive case for the truth of the Gospel, on their own or together. It is however right and proper (and necessary?) that they are there, even if it takes faith to recognise them.
