I mean, in reality all you have is the speculation written down in an ancient set of books written by people who had no way to prove what they were writing, and still have no way of proving today. If you can't prove it, there's no way to know that you aren't being misled.
When you talk about faith being the reason you know something is true, you are really just saying that you can't prove it, but you hope it is true. This is dangerous thinking, because if your well being is dependent on it, you really should have some proof that what you place your faith in is true. I know some of you like to think that your particular holy book contains the truth, but it really doesn't.
Think of it this way, would you allow someone to operate on your insides, knowing that the book they're using is two-thousand years old and does not contain any information that has been proven to be true? What if their patients died soon after, almost every time, because "it was just their time to go"?
