Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it

The best definition i can find of faith is the dependence upon the veracity of another. the bible definition in the 11th chapter of hebrews is, 'faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' in other words, faith says amen to everything that god says. faith takes god without any ifs, if god says it, faith says i believe it; faith says amen to it.
Believe Substance Definitions
Science is like society and trade, in resting at bottom upon a basis of faith. there are some things here, too, that we can not prove, otherwise there would be nothing we can prove. science is busy with the hither-end of things, not the thither-end. it is a mistake to contrast religion and science in this respect, and to think of religion as taking everything for granted, and science as doing only clean work, and having all the loose ends gathered up and tucked in. we never reach the roots of things in science more than in religion.
Mistake Science Thinking
Faith, then, generically, is confidence in a personal being. specifically, religious faith is confidence in god, in every respect and office in which he reveals himself. as that love of which god is the object is religious love, so that confidence in him as a father, a moral governor, a redeemer, a sanctifier, in all the modes of his manifestation, by which we believe whatever he says because he says it, and commit ourselves and all our interests cheerfully and entirely into his hands, is religious faith.
Religious Father Believe
Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
But science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. this source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion. to this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. i cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith. the situation may be expressed by an image: science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

Similar Quotes
It was as if the demise of the owner had lent the flat a physical void it hadn't had before. at the same time he had the feeling that he wasn't alone. harry believed in the existence of the soul. not that he was particularly religious as such, but it was one thing which always struck him when he saw a dead body: the body was bereft of something...the creature had gone, the light had gone,there was not the illusory afterglow that long-since burned-out stars have. the body was missing its soul and it was the absence of the soul that made harry believe.
