Was trying to understand the role of Faith in decision making against the decisions backed by Science which is often said to be based on empirical evidence. The moment, we place Science at the centre of everything then we happen to believe we are the most powerful beings which often comes with a fair share of ego as usually mentioned. Where in people of Faith assume there is a higher power which is in control beyond us. They often consider people are mere objects of a vast unexplainable universe. Beyond personal accomplishments or life events they respect the higher power and the natural order of things. System always strikes a balance between both and tries to stay in middle as it is nothing but something that learned from every living and non-living. That could be why it refrain itself from taking the credit respecting the origins.
Let's say a person of Science is able to fly with wings backed by modern day innovations and started assuming he/she is God itself as he/she believes it's the original idea or effort. Where in for reality the same person was able to compensate in some ways to the System in order to gather such knowledge. What's given can be taken back as well if initial agreements are violated is something that often a pattern that goes unnoticed. For a person of faith, it doesn't matter of such achievement as he/she believes such innovation is not beyond the higher power that the person believes. Unless someone create a new galaxy (as example) or something of that sort it may not fancy them. And it is tough to compensate the System as a whole as it is the one that gives from all above. That could explain why System assumes such greater authority over the experiences in real world.
Now coming back to the science team, for them belief of being in control of our life is the key to all Scientific Innovations. But when such thoughts grow more and more self-serving over time, System has to justify other team's belief system of the higher unexplainable power. In that sense, most Spiritual thoughts (Often Religious) are easy way of success in comparison to path of traditional Science. One could fail or succeed then learn from it or learn faster from other's failures or successes. The latter is far less hard. Thoughts based on Faith can enable such means of knowledge gathered faster to understand the rules of the System as we won't get fixated on empirical evidence. I believe every person should try to understand the fundamental thought process of few religions other than they are born into if possible, during the early student days itself to form a generic and neutral outlook towards the wisdom shared from very ancient days before the System was born/created. Where in System always bets big in best of everything. It mediates all trades of size, smell or color with accurate balance sheet entries kept from generations. Towards the end if I have to conclude I could say that, it's both Science and Faith have to collectively work together in order to decode the System. Because fundamentally we humans' forms the most active layer of the System that enables it to do better, so it won't work just with Science without Faith or Trust and vice versa. Recent events of wars, destruction and inhumanity seen around could be the evidence, if prolonged prayers left unanswered will be answered altogether mercilessly to uphold the innocence in Faith. We could only hope such events won't turn into the path of larger disasters. Often this is cyclical even if choices were given all the way and reciprocities factored in. It may find hard to embrace path of a peace, humility and greater purpose with thankfulness for those who came across understanding both sides equally. That would be much meaningful beyond pleasures and complexities of common world. But when someone is bold enough to take such path to traverse even with sacrifices, greater good often awaits them which they may not be aware of. Without thorns Roses look just ordinary, is that not so!
