Jade, I understand your husband's reactions.
The problem I see with the word, FAITH, is the connotation it carries from our religions, specifically Christianity here in the U.S. Likewise, the word, GOD, is tainted with religious meanings.
The use of a word gathers energy. So centuries of meaning behind the word, FAITH, from Christianity, has added to its beingness. I don't personally like to use either FAITH, or GOD, in my conversations, though I will for communication's sake.
Specifically, FAITH, and deriving from centuries of religious control, has a connotation of just believing something without thinking it out for yourself, following blindly, doing what the church says because you aren't to question. These applications of the word, reinforced so often, have tainted the actual word.
Intelligent Infinity can be likened to the wave function where all outcomes are possible in a field of infinite possibilities. This idea takes out the human factor of having to "believe," or follow without question. It removes the idea that we blindly have "faith" and instead opens up possibilities. I like that better. And then there is the idea that observation, or focus, collapses a particle (an outcome) from the wave (all possible outcomes). This idea empowers a person. Having "faith" seems to disempower.
