Since the recent findings by Noetic that consciousness affects matter/reality (meditation on the double slit experiment), could it be possible that the "faith" described in the Bible is precisely that: manipulation of the outcome of reality?
Was Jesus instructing way back then how to affect our own realities and science is just now proving it to be true?
Just a thought.
