Faith

The greatest act of faith takes place when a man finally decides he is not God. (Johann Goethe, 18th-19th century German writer)

In many ways, we all live lives of active faith. We trust in the blind miracles of nature (e.g., gravity) and inventions like electricity without understanding how they work. We simply trust these things to always happen. Those who accept the theory of evolution exercise as much—maybe even more faith—than those who trust the evidence of creation.

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. . . . By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen (Hebrews 11:1, 3).
