Where? You might elaborate. I do not understand. If someone believe anything because it is hope or wishful thinking, that is blind faith, and has few things to do with faith from evidence, usually based on adductive induction, which is reasonable by default, but prove nothing. As long as it works, it is the best option, but we have to remember that is a theory, a question. It is the separation of theology from science which makes some people believing that in science we can prove things about reality, but that is bad metaphysics. We can’t. We cannot even prove that there is a reality, that is what the greeks understood in the metaphysical/theological domain. And that is what the Churches of all kinds want us to forget.
