Rat suggests:
Definition of "near certain confidence" = high level of trust = high level of faith = faith.
What whale dreck this is. "Faith" is immutable while "near certain confidence" can change.
Science right now is analyzing the JWST observations to determine the new confidence in the so-called Big Bang Theory and has run into some speed bumps, mostly due to a lack of good data from the previous observations made by earlier equipment.
