Following Emily's post with the discussion of faith and science...I think that the unexplainable parts of faith are part of its appeal. There are a lot of mysteries still in the world and miracles (even if people don't call them that with the biblical references in mind) and I think people need some way to explain them. Faith in some higher power gives them that. Not that I think this is necessarily a good reason to believe in God, only because He gives you answers, but I do think that this is one thing religion has that science never can. The more we learn about our world, the more we discover that we know nothing about. This leads me to believe, that there will always be things that humans can't explain. So if there's always things we can't explain, no matter how advanced our science gets, there will always be that one reason for religion, even if it's only a shallow scrape at the surface of real faith.
