Even those who strive to live by logic and reason can have beliefs that aren't logical or rational to others. Faith doesn't have to involve a supernatural bring.

I have faith that many of our children and grandchildren can adapt to catastrophic climate change. Others believes humans will go extinct. Who is correct?
