In the beginning, something created what we call the universe and life. Theistic religions call that something “God” while atheists call it “something.” If atheists think or believe that science will someday reveal the genesis of life and the physical world, then atheists have faith that science will eventually deliver the answer. They have faith in science. If an atheist believes that we will never know, the atheist is also engaging in an act of faith — faith that mankind cannot ever discover the answer.
Faith is not an
act that requires belief without evidence. It is merely a belief rooted in
evidence of one’s own interpretation of what constitutes evidence. The moral
battle between atheism, agnosticism and religion requires faith on all sides.
