By faith I mean that you have accepted someone else's explanation for the basis of your belief. Could you get the verification... yes and then your faith becomes fact. But unless you have or until you do... welcome to my world.

Wrong.
Why? because I can at any time go through proof myself (following mathematical logic - see Craig's comments above).
So, no, I do not base my understanding on acceptance of someone's else's explanation (in practical world this approach may happen.. but it is NOT encouraged).
It the process, many (all, in fact) of those "accepted" explanations are being challenged and in some cases, they are debunked as false.
And this is the difference between faith and science.
