Faith and Torah

1. How are we so certain of our belief in God, when every piece of evidence we bring must be based on fundamental assumptions, which are also uncertain?
2. Isn’t it likely that our story about receiving the Torah was invented over the generations?
3. What does studying the Bible advance me? I am unable to understand from either the stories or the prophecies how they advance me in the knowledge of God or morality. Apart from the simplest messages, I rarely reach any depth.
Even if we can learn a lot from special parshiot – such as Gan Eden or Nekeret HaTzur – what does the rest of the Torah teach us?
4. Maimonides writes in the Book of Mormon that there are parables in which some of the details do not have a simile, and there are parables in which all the details have a simile. How can one know which parable is before me? How can one know what the simile is? After all, there can be an infinite number of meanings for each parable.
5. What is the relationship between Peshat and Darsh? Did God mean the sermons of the Sages or the Hasids, and yet they seem so disconnected from the words of the Torah! Is everything that can be put into words called Peshat, or only the thing that fits in the most?
6. In determining a law, is it possible to rule according to my study of the Gemara, and the opinion of a few rishonim that have not been ruled upon, or am I indeed bound by the rules of law, such as the Shulchan Aruch?
7. Regarding the blue color, could it be that the Gemara, which said that blue color is produced from snails, did not mean that this was the only way, but that this is how they would have arrived at this color in their time, since the Gemara did not say that this is necessary, but only that this is how it is done? (The problem with ‘Kala Ilan’ is therefore that it is very similar to the real color, but not exactly in shade.)
According to this possibility, if we learn to produce the color blue by industrial means, we will be able to wear it.
Is this explanation acceptable?

Thank you very much!
