Asking of the Designer what we would of any other designer (The atheist delusion)

I'm happy to split that hair. It seems like incorrect use of the language to call my suspicions regarding the origins of life "faith". That word requires much more investment than I bring to it. I don't mind calling my suspicions a "belief" but "faith" feels wrong.-By contrast I readily admit to having faith that there are deeper levels of the self which are not up to me and which determine what I can find meaningful and fulfilling. I also have faith that I can discover these things although I also believe access can be denied if our attitude and conscious beliefs are too far out of whack. In these unsupportable beliefs I have faith, conviction and confidence.-I think those whose beliefs regarding origins edge closer to deism (rightfully) feel the decision is a momentous one. I lean the other way. The only reincarnation I expect is that which my compost pile produces every day in my garden.
