Lets say you can't follow the logic, so you discount it. The fact that you discount it doesn't matter! Its a natural truth. Its proven. Your reluctance to take it on "faith" matters zilch towards its validity. You've reduced YOUR decision on the matter to faith (maybe by choice, maybe by necessity, doesn't matter). But an avenue absolutely DOES exist using natural fact, void of faith.

You assume that you are capable of acquiring the necessary skills to do
so. I could just as easily claim that I could go sit on a mountain side
for a few years and rediscover Buddhist Enlightenment from first
principles. :-)
I ask the following question to genuinely understand the answer, not to
mock. That said, why do you seem to think that having faith in your
fellow man is a bad thing? Science is no less cool, inspiring, or
important for it requiring a certain amount of trust.
