I don't expect anyone to know everything. I also realize that a person does not need to know everything to have faith, but how do you know where to place your faith? Obviously there is something that you do know that caused the faith in the first place and that's what I'm trying to get at, since I seem to be missing that part.
Most people describe it as this overwhelming feeling and that they just "know" but I have never felt that and it confuses me that so many people just "know" these things, but obviously some of them are wrong since the things that they just "know" conflict with each other in many cases, so how can these overwhelming feelings be trusted?
