I agree, the type of faith, that is described I would call blind faith. There may be times for that, but it must be tempered with wisdom, knowledge, and skepticism.
It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man.  - Alexander Vilenkin
If I am shown my error, I will be the first to throw my books into the fire.  - Martin Luther
