I think one of the things scientists believe that may be considered a form of "faith," or atleast the most likely candidate, is their belief that if a model is predictably accurate, then that supports the models authenticity.
I still don't see how science and faith can be synthesized.
The sciptures say that faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This to me means that it was never intended for Jesus to be a provable archaeological dig. It was never meant for the holy Spirit to be measured on some type of machine out of
GhostBusters! It was never meant that science be the yardstick for every single aspect of human reasoning, soulfulness, and identity.
Our identity is better found in the realm of faith than as a simple chemical equation. Degrees of faith? A degree would imply a measurable amount. Faith either is or is not. There are no degrees.
Convictions are very different from intentions. Convictions are something God gives us that we have to do. Intentions are things that we ought to do, but we never follow through with them.* * * * * * * * * *
