St. Augustine defined 'Faith' thus: "Faith is believing what you do not see and the reward of this Faith is seeing what you believe in."
Indeed, Faith is the essence of life. You dine in a restaurant with the faith that the food is not poisoned. You fly in an aeroplane with the faith that the plane will not crash. You sleep in your house with the faith that the roof will not collapse on you. We can hardly live without 'faith'.
Every scientific search is also pursued with 'faith' (not a doubt). Thomas Edison pursued his experiments despite failing over 2000 times as he had 'faith' in discovering a light bulb. Today, all over the world, scientists are pursuing research for AIDS vaccine with an unflinching faith of finding one.
How can science explain faith when it is also based on faith? Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
