But you do have to believe though. If you are just a brain in a jar, then all your empirical evidences are just illusions. At the very least you have to have faith that that's not the case.
Not knowing the answer to something isn't a belief problem, it's an ignorance problem.
For millenia we were ignorant regarding the relationship between the sun and the earth. That didn't make cosmology a belief system. We were just wrong.
Faith is not the source of science.
You are not getting what I was saying, let me put it this way, how do you know this isn't just all a dream you will one day wake up from, and find out that the real real world is run by wizards and dragons?
That's a gap in knowledge, not a matter of faith.
