aha! "a changing faith"... wonderful!

Knowing that I know nothing, I am aware that I do have opinions. But my opinions keep changing. Some people call this "learning." I call it changing faith. Even scientists know they are accepting theories as true based on evidence that convinces them to have faith. Yes, even scientific laws with strong evidence are sustained by faith - until the next level of evidence destroys the faith of past years. Then scientists, students, and lay public rearrange their faith to accommodate the newly observed evidence.
