We are finite, fallible, fragile, fragments of the universe. But because we have an inbuilt need to find meaning, we inhabit the universe in terms of a conception of its character a big picture either consciously adopted or unconsciously presupposed. In so doing we are always, whether we realize it or not, living by faith, that is, moving in an immensely important area in which thre is no certain knowledge and in which we cannot avoid the risk of being seriously mistaken.
John Hick
