Let me help you this way. The sun appears to revolve around the earth—rising in the east, moving through the sky, and setting in the west.
However, evidence now from astronomy and mathematics reveals that the earth is not the center of the solar system. Once you become familiar with that evidence and accept it as true, you have “faith” that the earth revolves around the sun—despite what your eyes tell you.
If your faith is not blind.
So it gives you the ability to see things as they really are, not merely as they seem to be.
This is the type of faith that the Bible encourages—strong faith built on solid evidence, even if it requires that we adjust our beliefs.
The apostle Paul says: “Without faith no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who truly want to find him.”—Hebrews 11:6.
So keep learning.
