OUR faith? stories for the believers to sooth their mind.
Possible, but this does not entail that the faith has no object. Again, with
computationalism, faith is "meta-justified" by the fact that all (Löbian) machines
cannot avoid the discovery that truth, if it exists, extends vastly what they can
justify or explain. It is a faith in some truth, and then some people fill it with
legend and fairy tales, which is perhaps a not bad beginning, unless they fall in the
trap of literalism, which can transform an inspiring guide into an obstacle for the
approach toward truth.
I don't know why you refer to it as faith. It is provable that there are true but
unprovable propositions in arithmetic. The faith step is assuming arithmetic.
