Someone recently asked me if I was a faith or a non faith
person. I found I had to do some deep thought and soul searching to answer that
direct question. Not every one has the same definition for faith. Some think
it means the same thing as trust. Some are thinking it pertains if one believes
in God or not, etc.

My response: I find it difficult
to answer your question concerning faith. I am a mathematician and computer scientist
and lived most of my life logically programming computers to serve human user
requirements. There are times when it is best to follow one's heart and soul
instead of one's mind. The mind is limited, the soul is not. Faith is simply a
positive assumption for what is not yet empirically knowable, what intuition and
receptivity to truth allows us to believe to make our world coherent, cohesive,
and compatible for communities to function competently.
