Faith and Trust I have been accused of having faith in science, I don't. I trust science. Please, allow me to clarify this. I trust that when I turn the key on my car, it will start. I have no faith that my car will drive and park itself. I trust that when I call 911, help will arrive if needed. I have no faith that if I call out mentally, help will arrive. I trust that when I stand, gravity will keep me on the floor. I have no faith that I will float around the room. I trust that if I pet my cat, she will purr. I have no faith that my dog will ever purr. These trusts can be violated. The battery might be dead on my car,the phone line might be severed, I might fall down (but in this case, gravity still works). And my cat might be in a bad mood. In the same light, science can occasionally be wrong, and the errors of science tend to be corrected. I have no faith, and for this I am grateful.
