Does Science Negate Faith?

I look across the sky, but it takes great faith for me, based on what Science tells me, that there are 55 billion universes like our own. I can only take that in by an acceptance of what is told me, not by experience, or flesh and blood seeing with my eyes..
So faith yet remains for those who even claim science as their religion.
Faith is simply that which we all yet have of the mystery that yet remains incomprehensible to us all.
A universe and universes, that none of us, have seen with our very own eyes.. or experientially traveled through in this body to experience it..
I simply see that mystery as all Compassionate Life, what we can see and not see.

Jesus did not come to tell us WHO God is, Jesus came to tell us WHAT GOD IS..... ( for we have had so many erroneous ideas) that have led to disrespect of life, our own and others.. and for this very small marble in which we all live, called planet Earth. Our Home..
Perhaps, we all can understand that message if nothing more.. if we did, would it make a difference? I think so.

Perhaps that is merely a choice, but it was a choice that I couldn't make on my own, for I have seen far too many not make that choice, and we can see the results of that today, in our cultures, society and world, with all the violence of life.  That- whatever it is, affected that choice somehow in this life that we have and somehow drew me to a new paradigm of what life is really about.. Call it God, or whatever you choose, but the story at least the outline of the life this man Jesus lived, and his ability to not resist evil with violence even to the own shedding of his own blood by those that are yet violent, gives me hope, that I too can live my life in such a manner as well.
That total selflessness that becomes only true self, when all of life is included as One Life.. One Existence, and none stand alone.. and nothing stands alone.. independent and by it's lonesome self. not even.... God.. or a god..
