Scientifically, you can live without all of these things but we have faith that these things will lead us to a better job, better social life, better community, better financial circumstances. It always doesn't work out but that's why they call it faith. You believe in what you're doing will lead you to something better and so you continue to pursue it.

    You won't see it until it actually happens or plays out. You do so with the purpose and intent that it all culminates to something better when it's revealed. It's just like what the Oracle told Neo. "...balls to bones."

    Thank you for a thought out response. I understand that faith is not a scientific (tangible as i called it in the OP) thing. But what starts someone believing? what jumpstarts faith? I (speaking just from my own POV and experience), have no reason at all to call faith a part of my life. im a logic based person. I see things for what they are. To me, faith is a romanticized version of the world we live in. My social life, my relationships, and my love are all parts of my soul. An internal thing that was obtained through evolution. Not an external thing like a god, or an internal thing caused by a god.

    My word choices in this post my offend some of you. I apologize, that is not my intent at all.
