    “Belief without proof” is the literal definition of faith, but it goes hand in hand with ignorance.

        But proof is always available if you know where to look, and that comes from education. The more educated you are, the less faith you have, and the more confidence you gain from our collective empirical experience. Nobody’s claiming anything else here. I know the mind is flawed.

        I make decisions on my past experiences and then adjust if things change. If people are just doing things without proof, then we just found the problem now, didn’t we?
