It can't be contingent on something necessary within itself. Within means being part of the contingency.

  Hmm, I don't see the problem - Everything in the universe is contingent, except for one thing which is necessary. Everything relies on that necessary foundation. What's the issue?

      How do we know anything, and how do we deem the human mind a suitable tool for ascertaining the result? At some point I understood that faith is orthogonal to the mind, and the tension was lowered.

        Fine, but don't go into conversation and state your object of faith is a fact.

          I repeat: > faith is orthogonal to the mind Conflating the two is intellectually dishonest, in addition to commonplace.
