Faith is a subject well worth study and contemplation. Thanks for the post!


"And when we gain knowledge in that thing that we *used* to
have faith in, then that new knowledge introduces us to new
realms of possibility, in which we can now exercise new faith.
So, rather than knowledge eliminating faith, what it does is
spark or create whole new vistas in which faith for the
first time becomes active."
