Faith is unavoidable because, according to Aquinas, seeking the truth is natural to all human beings. If we did not have faith, then we would have no explanation for the things that we do not understand. Therefore, faith is beneficial because it keeps humankind from going insane looking for answers that we will never be able to find the answers to. As Wilker says, “The absence of authority in society not only severs the fragile bond of trust that binds people together, it makes learning impossible.” We must have trust in one another to form relationships and to learn from each other. Therefore, faith is also beneficial in creating close bonds between people and allowing humanity to run smoothly. A world without faith would be a world of trust. Though there is no way to prove if a God exists, having faith in Him and Scripture allows us to believe in something greater than us, and gives us a deeper meaning of life.
