Why did the précis put the proof in the pudding and not in the eating?

Proof / evidence / fact, are as subjective as faith / belief / hope. In fact where does belief lie, because what is a fact without first believing it to be true? Truth is just as subjective. Where does fact begin and faith end, or are they as entwined as night and day?

I have never hidden the fact that I am not religious and while I more often get to argue against indoctrination, I rarely get to argue for faith. Strictly (grammatically) speaking I am atheist but I do not define myself, and I enjoy arguing against negative connotations theists have for atheists. Theists bang on about trust and atheists about theory, but both began with the word. One difference being that atheists evolve, and theists are set in stone.

Fellow atheists are often scientists for the love of proof. Latter-day sages they specialize in one field disproving it to prove it to validate that everything can and must be proved. So once proven must all else then be improved upon? Or is all else left in that intimate pile of belief? Men are not killed in the name of science but there has been a certain amount of destruction for scientific theory. Take biologist Carl Linnaeus the man who named every little thing, but to find every little thing to name, he had to flog it. Collecting plant or insect samples (aka flogging a tree and picking up everything that died and fell out of that tree) is harmless because how else can you define and name every little thing, right? He also happened to name certain little critters after certain people in his life who displeased him (Hilarious, right). Or does this just highlight how much of what we know is based on someone making it so? Including our very own name. Equipped with nothing more than that name you never chose, how many of us can prove anything for ourselves, let alone disprove? If you vehemently accept your church and deny evolution, or if you fully accept evolution and deny creation, both is your belief. It takes an equal amount of faith, even to believe that your belief is a lie.

The saying “the proof of the pudding, is in the eating” has been abridged to “the proof is in the pudding” not “the proof is in the eating.” As if the proof is in the pie in the sky and we need no longer taste it for ourselves.
