Why Do We Believe What We Believe ?

Most people accept that a year is 365 days - but a year isn't 365 days. Well... not exactly 365 days.
Many people dismiss faith as superstition - but in reality, it may just be an approximation.

Ivory soap claims to be "Pure" even though it is only 99.44% so.

Gold and other metals can have a variance of 99.9%-99.99% to be considered the same.


Even simple equations (that many regard as a universal fact) break down at the quantum level.


And the value of Pi is just a very accurate approximation that works most of the time under most conditions.

So is faith just a belief in tendencies and not absolutes?
