I fundamentally do not care if you agree with me. As the scripture in Alma 32 so wonderfully explains, when we have faith we hope for things unseen. Hope implies an unsure knowledge, a quest for greater light. While my computer may have been built by knowledge, there had to first be faith that it could be built. Faith instills the pursuit of greater knowledge.
