FAITH IS A SENSE
Faith is a sense
Being "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," Faith is a sense in the same manner as are the more commonly regarded, five other acknowledged human senses: sight, hearing, scent, touch, taste.
As some folks are blind or deaf, others are handicapped by a lack of Faith in God. As some folks have highly acute taste buds and tactile senses, others have an indomitable "Through it all"- type of Faith.
Faith is strongly allied with what is known as extra sensory perception or ESP, which is a form of intuition .
Whether or when pure science ever may come to quantify or to qualify the neural source of Faith, ESP, or intuition, those folks with these 'gifts of the spirit' will go on, certain of their divine source in God, as are they, themselves, and as all else is!
