faith? truth? knowledge? evidence? experience?
I often think it boils down to who is telling
the best story in terms of all the other fragmented stuff
we think we know/experience/hear about.
Pirsig tells a good well hung together story where
we seem to know more after hearing it than we knew before.
We seem to spend too much time on the MOQ at the moment
not listening and asking if the other guy has a point, or why
the other guy thinks we don't have a point.

Not really. More like experience of human nauture and knowledge of history. Science is
probably the best we currently have at explaining the physical nature of the world but
sorely lacking when physical bounds are reached.

I am still not clear on how it isn't faith----If they have not had the ability to explain beyond the physical bounds in the past how can you say that your belief that they will in the future is not faith but experience?
