busker,
Tell me something. Does Newton’s belief in god make it true that god exists? Does his belief in god make god’s existence more likely? If 100% of all scientists today believed in god’s existence, does that make it true that god exists? If 100% of all scientists today believed in the existence of god, does that make it more likely that god exists?
And it's not ambivalence and no, you can’t have the similar sentiment toward “pretty much anything”, unless you’re arguing for solipsism. Because unlike god(s), a lot of things that fall under “pretty much anything” have evidence to support its existence.
You have a very warped understanding of the word “faith”. Why don’t you define it. And define “belief” while you’re at it. You seem to be misusing both words as well as equivocating the two.
And if the senses are not infallible, then you cannot trust the conclusion that they are not infallible.
