Precisely. You'll find you excercise faith in many aspects of your life. Faith in God is just one aspect for me.[/QUOTE]If I tell you the moon is actually a big ball of cheese and you believe me then that is faith.
If I tell you the moon is a big ball of cheese and show you reports of scientists who have landed on and eaten the cheese (independent corroboration), but you don't go to the moon yourself, that really isn't faith, it is more like trust. You are trusting the scientists to present their cases truthfully.
