Could you help with my small post explaining mistakes, please. Many thanks in advance We got used to think that as if knowledge is stronger than the faith and this knowledge is the main part of our religion. But it is not so as namely the faith gives you the power of knowledge. The knowledge without confidence, the knowledge without recognition is a dead proof ( ie. knowledge). You can know that the plane can lift you, but if you are not sure of this fact , you will never decide to board this plane.

I think this belongs in the Notebook section. === We got used to thinking that knowledge is stronger than faith, and this knowledge is the main part of our religion. (I don't think the "if" is needed, but maybe your previous sentence leads to it.) But it is not so, as namely it is faith that gives you the power of knowledge. (No need to use "the" unless you're talking about something specific. Knowledge is abstract. "The power" works though because it's part of a phrase..."the power of knowledge" or "the ability to sing", for example.) Knowledge without confidence, knowledge without recognition, is dead proof ( ie. knowledge). You can know that the plane can lift you, but if you are not sure of this fact, you will never decide to board this/the plane. (Here "the" refers to a specific plane, the plane used in your example, so it's good.)
