It's a reference to the fact that she's married to Bill, and that he's pulling strings from the sidelines.

So you're defining faith as belief in somthing that doesn't have any logical or scientific evidence to it? For example, while waiting for a bus, it's belief that it will arrive in 10 minutes, not faith, because the scedule says so. When reading about cloning, it's belief that cloning exists, not faith, because it's published in a scientific journal with evidence. When considering your own existance, it's belief that you exist, because you can see and touch and smell, not faith. But then, wouldn't it be faith that the bus still exists? You have no evidence of it having crashed. Or faith that cloning exists? You've no evidence that it's a hoax. Or faith that you're not just a brain in a jar? you've got no evidence that such a thing could even happen. Understand, i'm not talking about your stance on religion, i'm questioning your idea that, where somthing 'exists' there's no faith involved, even when it's completely out of your personal senses or control, at which point, faith and belief overlap.

Ha, that's awsome. But yeah, point still applies since you're not a master scientist in every feild known to man. Not to mention that you had to have faith that the machine was showing you what was actually there. It might not be conscious faith, but it's still faith.

I assume you've seen DNA then. You're not beliving in somthing that exists, you're putting your faith in scientists who say it exists. Sure you can say a tree exists, but you're taking other peoples word for the idea of HOW it exists. This isn't me being a consipacy nut, claiming that the worlds scientists are pulling the wool over our eyes, it's just pointing out that scientific 'fact' is just as dependent on our belief in a scientist as religious belief is in that of a preist.

Contact was a good film if only because it tried to explain the nature of belief in faith to people with purely scientific minds.
