What is the value of faith?

[kycahi]

Before the Ra material came out (yes, I'm that old ), I defined metaphysics as the study of the true universe, given that what we see, feel and measure is only a subset. Similarly, faith is adhering to a concept of purpose and intellect that came from divine revelation, a revered person, writing and/or art that carries no mathematical or scientific proof.

Wow, that sentence came out clunky.

A lesser type of faith would be a strong belief that my hero (sports? other?) won't let me down.
