God, Energy and Matter

SO, I noticed in your special pleading response, you ignored the most important part of my post.

Here it is again: So please, demonstrate that faith is a reliable path to knowledge.

I've been asking theists this one, seeming straight forward question for decades, and not one had been able to answer. Including some pretty well known apologists.

So please, let us know how faith is reliable.

I think nobody could tell you how it is reliable because they can't demonstrate to you in words how they know.  Someone who has had faith in God and then had a mystical experience of God would say that their faith was shown to be true by that experience.  We really don't know if faith gives us knowledge until we encounter the God in which we have faith.  So, as far as it applies to your criteria, the answer is I don't know.  If you're using your criteria you won't gain knowledge of God or the supernatural.  You've already ruled it out.
