I agree, Craig, it is also a basic tenent of science.

For those who claim they don't "live by faith", please post the correct value for the Cosmological Constant (found in the Einstein metric) and enlighten the rest of us. Even Stephen J Gould, who died of cancer yesterday, at the age of 60, and Stephen Hawking both admit to an 'admixture of philosophy' in their respective disciplines. In other words, they begin with assumptions they assume are true but cannot prove. That's "living by faith". You have a fabulous career ahead of you in the natural sciences if you can do what Hawkings and Gould could not.
