No.

Not a position of an "active" faith.

Not a book on neuroscience.

Simulation of deep future is not simply imagination.

Even if this is the case it would seem a mistake to pin faith down to just one level of consciousness as its a position that makes claims about, and I can't stress this enough, everything. Where you are in space, your position in society and your future.

This needs more padding out.

The conjecture is to see faith in terms of being an aspect of the ability to simulate future.
