Bogdan, I admire Columbus because he sought assistance from someone of great power and influence, Queen Isabella. He had enough faith in what he believed to be true that he steped out not knowing what the response would be. He could have been called a heritic as his beliefs went against what the church had taught.
He also had to perservere. I cannot imagine what it was like to be weeks away from land, the shipmates giving him a hard time, and not knowing when he would reach the goal. He had no cut and dry answers, just faith.
