    I trust the scientific method, I don’t have faith.

    Trust and faith should not be used interchangeably.

    Trust means that you have good reason to believe in something.

    Faith is just wishing on a star.

      You will find that everyone who has faith claims to have a good reason to believe in it.

      Faith is trust is believing in something without definitive proof. If you have proof, you don’t trust, you know.

        Good reason is subjective. I require evidence before I believe something.

        If you have proof, you don’t trust, you know.

        Trust can be placed based on past experiences. I trust my sister will call me. I have faith in nothing.
