<strong>© Tatiana Velitchkov</strong></p>
<p>Every human being has a strange and strong emotion and this is what narrows to the real meaning of faith. Further, faith reveals itself to us as a belief that does not reside on logical proof or evidence from material. It is all about “intuition”, “a drive of guts” or “the sixth sense” which bears no reason. There is some similarity that is evident between trust and faith but only that trust exists strongly in faith. Trust takes a narrow dimension in an individual with faith taking a wider scope involving religion, rules as well as principles.</p>
<p>Some contrast is believed to lie between science and faith in that; it appears like they are the opposites of each other, since science uses logic as well as material evidence. Besides, this does not mean that scientists have no faith in them because it is evident that they still have faith in the science, rather, faith and logic seem to exist from different scripts working together in human beings and seem to coordinate.</p>
<p>Faith carries a very wonderful dimension, a person who bears faith uses intuition without even seeking for a proof to believe others. Faith resides in animals as well because they realize who to believe and who is not to. The nature of faith in this case is therefore an instinct that one has to nurture. Failure to nurturing leads to death of the faith and the person becomes a victim of depression and hence mental disorders.</p>
<p>As much as people go ahead and claim that they do not believe in God, there is really no proof that there is God and therefore, human beings will move ahead and at times believe in humans or else in both human beings and God in the sense of faith and logic. Understanding that faith is not an issue of choice but rather a state of being is vital. The reality here follows that, much as you want to convince yourself that you can believe in human beings, the belief cannot come without the strength in faith and likewise, we have every reason to believe in God.</p>
<p>This still stands that, if we claim to have faith in God, then we loose it all in human beings when our faith in God declines therefore, it is true that faith originated from our nature. All the faiths that are in existence are the same. Some people may claim that they cannot have faith on God since they have no material evidence or prove but all in all, if you lack the faith in God you will definitely lack the same in human beings.</p>
