I like this poem. despite it's length it says a lot. Overall it suggests that people were once content with faith, they believed that something was. Now, through microscopes, we want proof to see what really is, or what we have a hunch about what is. But "'Faith' is a fine invention" because even though we cannot see most things we believe in, we know they are exist. (i.e God)

I like how so many of you seem to have met Emily Dickinson personally and from first hand experience been told what this poem means exactly...Perhaps its your interpretation and your wrong.. a few more "i thinks" would be nice.
