We turn on the light switch and know without hesitation the expected result: the light goes on and the room is illuminated. We have faith in the light going on because we have seen such faith demonstrated or used time and time again. We no longer hope for the light to go on as we know it will. The light turns on because man has harnessed, via a leap of faith, the electrons that pass through the wire and generate the current necessary to illuminate the room. The light is the evidence of things (the electrons) unseen, which through faith we have come to trust and believe exist. Thus tangible things we enjoy on a daily basis prove to us that God is no more a stretch of belief for us than the simple act of expecting the light to go on after flipping the switch.
