Annotation

This essay shall attempt to navigate through this ambiguous argument of faith’s veracity, from both a theological standpoint, by naming and analyzing faith based on a model of incomplete evidence, complemented with a more secular account. Furthermore, this essay will strive to demonstrate that Faith can be both something more and less of incomplete evidence: in the believer’s eyes, any evidence could stand as sufficient or incomplete
