They show that the money for the project came from investors who believed in it.

Explanation:

That the bridge is "a triumph of faith," implies that some people did not believe in the execution of the project.  However, some investors believed and having invested in the project, there was successful outcome.

The triumph of faith does not show that the two great cities were able to pay back the money.  Neither did it show that science was just as important as faith to the success of the project nor that the money came from the budget of the two cities.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
