I think either way, you're putting your faith in something.
Whether you believe the start of the physical world was caused by a supernatural force, or whether you believe it was caused by the forces of nature, there are still unanswered questions and aspects that are beyond our comprehension.
The difference, and this is why faith only exists within theistic explanations and not secular ones, is that we can readily demonstrate that the natural world exists, and we have no suggestion that the supernatural is even something that's possible.
I was referring to the start of everything. Like, the first particle that made up the first thing, or the first force that came to exist, if you will. For how that happened, we have no explanation and no evidence. The natural world, as we know it, isn't capable of materializing things from nothing. So whichever guess you take (whether there was a supernatural force at play or whether it was just nature somehow), it's still a guess, not based on hard scientific evidence.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
