But it is a contingent faith, isn't it? I, for example, accept that I live in a human "box"- limited by my human senses and reason. And the knowledge of my whole species is so limited. I accept that what I perceive may not be the truth- but I use my reason and experience because they've been very good guides so far. If I were to leap out and choose faith- what faith would I pick? That would be another leap wouldn't it? At least my experience is MINE. It is a single leap to accept what I see as reality as reality- even if I accept it relatively. If I were to accept what some religion TELLS me is true, in a book for example, that's a double leap. I'm not only accepting my perception of a book, I'm accepting the perception of the people who wrote the book as well- now THAT'S tenuous. IMO
