Having faith in something which is not true, is just a false hope. A real search for truth cares more about the truth than the faith. Facts matter!
To those searching for truth – not the truth of dogma and darkness but the truth brought by reason, search, examination, and inquiry, discipline is required. For faith, as well-intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction – faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.
Thomas Edison
