When you don't fully understand something but you trust that someone else has done their due diligence in the gaps where your comprehension is incomplete, that is quite literally faith.

In the biblical sense? Hell no. In the sense that I have to put trust in someone to do their role in society then ok. I guess. That isn't the same thing as "faith in God" though.

For example: I have a rudimentary understanding of how electricity works and even how many of the electronics and appliances in my house work. I do not know all the engineering details of how the electricity gets to my house or where all the screws and parts go and specifically do in my appliances. But I do know the basics physics of what electricity is and that it is generated in a plant then transferred to my house via wires. I experience the direct result of it. Is it really an act of faith that when I flip the light switch in my bedroom that I expect my lamp to turn on? Do I really have to be an expert on all human knowledge for my life to not be lived on this faith of yours?
