Some people study many of the world's major religions, before embracing a faith. Others, explore various philosophies. Still others, dabble in the world's many avenues of fulfillment (pleasure, academic pursuit, wealth, altruism, etc.). (See Ecclesiastes).

Regardless of how much comes to be known, what the Bible (both Old and New Testaments), the Book of Mormon, and even the Quran, all promise is that the one with a pure and true desire to know God will find him. And, once you see him, you will realize he was there all along.

Perhaps part of your search is to figure out just what kind of evidence or finding would point you in the direction of faith to begin with? Blessings on your quest.

If faith is the gap between what you know and what you believe, how is it that you determine what you "know?" I don't presume to "know" anything for certain as I believe that would be rather arrogant of me, so it seems that any faith would be "blind faith" for me.
