You say that faith is the absence of fear for a believer, but I tend to think it is more accurately the reliever of fear. Instead of having to deal with the concept of not knowing what happens, a believer puts their faith into a religion and then they no longer have to fear because they "know" what will happen.

I do not think believers have any better idea of what happens after death than people like your self. Never-the-less there must be a connection with consequences or there will never be a sense of morality, purpose, intelligence or enlightenment.

As a fellow scientist can you give me any example of any event that occurs without incentive or in other words a result without a cause? Is this not contrary to the “scientific method”?
