For instance, to believe there is such a thing as a black hole requires faith in another person...an astronomer or physicist. It even takes faith in the author of the article you read about black holes in. For that matter, it takes faith that your eyes see the right words, that you see at all rather than imagine it, and that you even exist in the first place...and thusly regresses to a base level of faith...faith in one's senses. But what about faith in logic? What about faith in the scientific process actually doing what we want it to (it is assumed that past events will dictate future events, and we proceed based on faith that they actually will). But when you decide to have faith in this religious text, or that one, we agree, it is quite a different story. So, where SHOULD our faith begin and where should it end, to be honorable, responsible beings throughout life?
