In case you are interested, all Faith is is a believe in something without
"pure knowledge."  For example, when you get on a plane do you know that it
is going to land safely at your destination?  If you do not, then do you have
"faith" that it will?  When certain "great" experiments of science were
performed, did the experimenters know what the results would be?  Or did they
have "faith" that they would find the truth.  We all try to gain as much
knowledge as we can, the Bible does encourage us to gain knowledge.  But we
all need faith in order to make it through each day.
