True, you CONTINUE to operate in set of circumstances based on past factually verifiable experiences. This is no longer faith, but believing that something exists a certain way based on your senses. But you had no past factually verifiable experiences the FIRST time you went to work, or the FIRST time you accepted something you were told. The first act of stepping into something without any factually verifiable experiences was done in total faith. Continuing in that activity was based on receiving something after the fact that supported further action or belief in the situation. If you had gone to work the first day and never gotten paid, you wouldn't go back to work, at least not there. We are told that man went to the moon, and we (at least most of us ) believe that, but I did not personally see anyone go to the moon. The reason I believe it is because of the evidence that has been presented later that supports it. Again we all have to operate in faith at some point. The reason we continue is because we have later received evidence that supports it. This is now belief, not true faith. Again it is simply a matter of how much faith we have and what we put our faith in. Without ever taking that first step of faith, we will be very limited in what we receive or accomplish. I would never have anything if I held the mind set "prove to me I'm going to get paid this week and then I'll come to work for you".
