I tend to pray for something else when the situation is desperate or extreme, and I cannot fix it on my own.
Great. So, let me ask again. Suppose you need to fix your car and the only way to do that is by using a certain kind of tool. Suppose further that you only have two options: 1 tool that works 98% of time (call it X) and one that only works 0,5% of the time (call it Y).
Now, you said before that we have to believe on the basis of faith ("a leap of faith") because it is always possible that the car won't start or that the light won't turn on. And you're right that it is always possible; it is possible that tool X won't work and it is possible that Y will. So, my question is the following: since you only need faith in your worldview, would you choose X or Y? Why?
It can't get any clearer than that.
