No, the answer is “I don’t know … yet” because we don’ know “yet”. They are not leaps of faith unless they are supernatural in origin. Belief in reason. Trust in experience. Confidence in experience and understanding.

That’s the epistemic curve, and each term is, just like child, young adult, mature adult, experienced adult, skilled adult – an expression of the evolution of the concept of likelihood as man evolved from primitive anthropomorphic suprstition to philosophical reasoning, to empiricism to science … to now, we are at first principles (laws) and a formal operational logic, but we are absent an understanding of gravity that would give us the full model. And that ignorance is due to a persistent and common error among humans which is a misunderstanding of mathmatics vs what it measures and how to conduct inquiry without making the confusion by conflation that so many do.
