No that is not wrong however let me give you an example.
I imagine Stevie Wonder thinks his wife is beautiful, does he know this, no how could he? Even if someone else said so why just take their word for it?
As far as the existence of everything goes, how could everything just happen, I think someone had to have created everything, it makes more sense than a big bang and then just random changes. I would think that should be proof enough of God's existance, if there was no God the human race would have died off centuries ago, where do we get our sense of justice and right and wrong if not from God? Also, the fact that science has not uncovered all the mysteries of the univers is proof that there are things that are beyond our understanding.

Dictionary definition of belief:
1) a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing. 2) something believed. 3) conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon esp. when based on examination of evidence.
Therefore, evidence may be considered a prerequisite to belief. However, there is a fine line between "believing" and "knowing".

The last time I went to visit my dad a man who allowed me a place to sleep in his house told me that the first time he heard my dad speak is when he became a believer. Just a simple preacher for sixty years. What proof will you need?

No, if that's what you need to believe. Me personally just have faith & don't need proof of God to believe but to each is own. Ones not wrong & the other right, just different opinions

Absolutely not--but it is foolish to ignore mountains and mountains of evidence just to stand on a piece of ground which is sinking fast.

Dear Mr. Cookie:
It is NOT wrong to want evidence, before believing.
It is absolutely right.
Otherwise, all you have is blind faith.

That is a very normal platform of thought, but when it is your time to jump, JUMP, and don't look back. This day is coming.

It is called skepticism. I think it is healthy, but at certain times(when religion ruled) it would get you burned at the stake.

why do you need to ask us?
do you need our permission to know what is real and what is not?
