Minnesota Republican Rep. Mary Franson: “that’s why, when we talk about climate change, I don’t get upset about it, I don’t get worked up about it — it is because my faith is not in climate change, is not in scientists dictating what we should and should not do to save the environment, ’cause my faith is in Jesus Christ. right? he’s the same today, tomorrow, and forever, um, yesterday, and so on. you know, if you’ve read the Good Book, you know how it ends. it’s not with climate change.”

Faith is the refuge when you don't really know the answer.
IMO we're organically evolving processes comprised of:
Sensations and feelings.
Situationally induced recollections drawing upon
conditional remembrance of ongoing experience,
Cognition, anticipation, attention, expression.
Effective functioning depends upon efficient preservation of:
Accurate conclusions drawn from verifiable observations.
Constructive beliefs appropriately orientating attention.
Beneficial values optimizing expression.
Faith diminishes effectiveness by recognizing unverifiable causality.
It is indeed a weak substitute for knowledge or understanding.
