Cannot suppress that blanc. Sorry. The answer is that if a belief comes from reason, it might still be false. The belief that fact is earth was due to reason based on local extrapolation. Reason build theories, but later, reason + new evidence can show old theories to be wrong. So, when applying a theory, we need some faith.
