Does one accept faith in order to ascribe a higher meaning to all that occurs, or does one ascribe a higher meaning to all that occurs due to faith?

I think that because we are surrounded by so much uncertainty that faith can be a breath of fresh air. When I was young, I was very suprised when I found that most of our modern science is based on ideas that could work, but that there are still other possibilities that would be equally functional. Example: I get from my house, to a Jack in the Box in 10 minutes, and I live 3 miles away. I could have ridden a bike, taken a car, ran, ect.. Alot of our current theories on phenomina would say that I rode my bike. While it works, there are still other possibilities that are just as valid. Faith can sometimes just be reassuring.
