faith is everyone's final decision

Everyone is forced to operate on faith whether they understand this, like it or not, for the reason that none of us know all that there is to be known to make a final decision. All our new learning increases our knowledge, including the knowledge that we learn that there is yet much more that we did not know than we realized before. Answered questions reveal more questions so that increasing our knowledge increases our knowledge of our ignorance. Since this means we must make a decision right now without the benefit of all knowledge, then we close the gaps in our knowledge by assumptions which must be taken on faith. Even the knowledge we have now is subject to over riding new knowledge. Anyone rejecting this definition assumes by their own definition that they know all and all there is to be known. They are then locked into this mind set until the next increase in knowledge comes along to unset this.
