You seem absolutely certain that the scientific community has "faith" in singularities but when asked specifics there's a whole lot of "I think". Don't you think you should study what leading scientists in the field say before you make the claim that your remembrance that black holes and the big bang involve singularities is a sign that scientists are using faith?

i think was with regards to how singularities are are practical

there you go, does that clear things up for you?

and what I'm looking for is citations. Actual articles where someone in the field says something to the tune of "though there is no current experimental evidence for the actual physical existence of a singularity we believe that such evidence is only waiting to be discovered" or some such nonsense. Otherwise you don't have faith but scientists attempting to apply a mathematical model to the real world, a practice that is perfectly normal and rational.
