This is fine. In fact, this is infinitely better than ignoring my query, which a lot of people have done so far.
So essentially, you believe what you believe because that is what you were taught to believe. That might work for you, but not for me. I could go into a long schpiel about how wrong that is, but it would definitely fail to convince you of anything, so I won't at this juncture. That, and I must leave now for hours of riveting classes. I would only modify that slightly: I believe what I was taught to believe, verified by personal experience. Think of it this way, I doubt that you invented the scientific method, rather someone taught it to you. It has served you well (as it has served me well, it is not an alien concept to me, either) and so you trust it for future use.
I have trusted in the Lord, and He has proven Himself faithful to me, so I continue to trust Him.
