Faith necessarily precludes the dependance on "proof" (Certainly any kind of evidence which is close to objective and abides withing the canons of scientific research). I learned a long time ago that in order for my faith to maintain its depth and meaning, it must remain in the realm of mystery. I am well aware of the many historical and scientific implausibilities within almost any religious convictions, but none of them have yet compelled me to abandon my belief in the divine and unknowable.
