Instead of coming up with individual ideas about what faith might or might not be...why not check out the manual where it is defined?


Uhhh... yeah... that's pretty much what we have all just finished saying. We leave faith to the religious. Science can't comment on faith; likewise faith has no place in science.

A bit late to the discussion, but welcome none the less.

Like to make an attempt at interpreting that verse?


Of course not. That's not my job. That is the job of the religious, you perhaps. That way your interpretation can contend with other religious interpretations... you leave us scientists out of any "religious interpretation" since as I've said above, we are perfectly content leaving that up to religion. Of course, when you interpretations and our facts contradict, there will be a rumble... but we can work through that peaceably as we have in the past. And thus if your interpretation of faith as per that quote above and my statement are the same, then that's great! One more data point to validate my opinion!
