Everything that we learn everyday, adds to the complexity & wonder of all
This increases my faith, to think how profound, how beautiful.
Those who think differently are being a bit simplistic in their thought, not faith.

I was being simplistic, but I think there is an essential truth to what I said.
I guess I could refine my statement to say that faith is believing in something so strongly that absolutely nothing, under any circumstances, could convince you that your belief is false or incorrect. However, belief sets will still evolve and change over time as you grow as a person, but the core values must essentially remain the same, or you necessarily showed a lack of faith in those beliefs.
