if you count scientology

then I guess

many scienctific breakthroughs were only brought about because the scientist conducting the research had faith in the concept they were trying to prove

@DEUS VULT no, not faith, they had an idea

like yellow fever .-.

having faith in your idea

@DEUS VULT if a scientific breathrough was showing math that it wasnt possible, bit you think its possible because you just think so, then thats faith

having faith is belief in an idea

GG @DEUS VULT, you just advanced to level 1!

@DEUS VULT no it isnt

do you use faith when you turn on your car? no

you know its gonna turn on because we know that

a strongly held belief or theory.

GG @Katze Miaulitzer, you just advanced to level 28!

What if a scientific breakthrough said you were retarded? Would you use your faith in your knowledge of science to believe otherwise?

when i turned on my computer i didnt use faith to think it would turn on, i knew it would turn on because thats how it is

<:peepohype:583660763135344645>

thats not the real term

yes it is

the only reason i know my car will turn on is because the person who invented it had faith in the reasearch and design he was conducting

What if it was broken and you didn’t know it before you tried to turn it on

look at the fucking dictionary you nitwit

are we trying to fucking redefine words again?

@DEUS VULT they didnt use faith, they used info, like combustion

@CallMeTruckson LOOK AT THE DICTIONARY DAMMIT

@Cobra Commander they think science uses faith

@Katze Miaulitzer i did, it said gullible

complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
"this restores one's faith in politicians"

how did the concept of combustion come about?

It’s not controversial to think that

@Katze Miaulitzer no thats not the real one

yes it is dumbass

It doesn't *usually* , but that isn't to say that someone who doesn't know all of the mechanics of say a computer isn't using some amount of belief in the assumption that it will turn on.

we have an online dictionary you fucktard

@DEUS VULT an exp[losion, and some guy tried to figure out how it happened and other ppl used hos IONFO ann OBSERVATIONS to further that, and so on and so forth

because the person who reasearched and studied the concept of combustion had faith that it existed

@DEUS VULT no, faith isnt involved
