Katharine Hayhoe: “People ask me if I believe in global warming. I tell them, ‘No, I don’t,’ because belief is faith; faith is the evidence of things not seen. Science is [the] evidence of things seen.”

Just ran across this while surfing through the RationalWiki:
| —Katharine Hayhoe, climate scientist and evangelical Christian[1] |
A long exposition of who Katharine Hayhoe is was shown on the University of Toronto physics department website in 2012. The reason I like it and find it resonating is that “faith is the evidence of things not seen” is a famous definition from the Bible, specifically Hebrews 11:1, which says (King James Version):
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
