Blog Comment: Faith

Faith is defined as belief without evidence. The reality is that it (at least today) is impossible to prove or disprove God's existence. If you're a religious person you're fine with this because, after all, faith means that you don't need evidence. If you're an Atheist, you're also fine with this because you basically have "faith" in the idea that God doesn't exist (and don't require any evidence to prove it).

If you're Agnostic then, yes, it is fair to demand evidence -- but, as far as concrete scientific evidence goes, there is far more evidence to show that God doesn't exist than that he does. That is why most Agnostics lean towards Atheism.
