Analysis of The Hidden Power of Human Beliefs
One man by his proofs anchors his beliefs.
Another by his faith solidifies his beliefs.
The first man calls himself a fact finder.
The second man finds facts to be of human construction.
Temporary and ever changing, like the four seasons of the year.
Governed by an order surpassing human comprehension.
The man of proofs considers this as being predictive.
That while there is change, there is constancy in change.
That change is proof of higher order to be determined.
The man of faith acknowledges this as faith.
As the assurance of things hoped for.
As the conviction of an higher order governing the things not seen or understood.
