Unbelievable? Is faith about belief or trust? And why does it matter?

Travis Dickinson with Brian Blais

In #critical thinking #religion #faith #media

In this discussion/debate, I talk with Travis Dickinson about the concept of faith. Travis is the author of "Stand Firm: Apologetics and the Brilliance of the Gospel" and says that both Christians and atheists often adopt a faulty definition of faith. He makes the case that faith is less about beliefs, and more about ventured trust on the basis of evidence.

I make the case that the term faith is poorly defined, and if it means the same as trust then we should just use that word. I speak about probability theory as the structure of epistemology, and stress scientific thinking.
