A response to some questions about my .sig
You place your faith in what you can sense and in the words of those you respect, e.g. the scientific comunity. I also place my faith in what I can sense and in those I respect. Things that are literally inexplicable by science have happened to those who are close to me. That is enough evidence for me to have faith that my religion and science are equally legitimate.
