Nope, evidence is evidence. Data and facts are evidence. Faith???? Faith is some sort of belief (trying to give the most generous definition here), and beliefs are not evidence for anything else than someone holding these beliefs.
Everything else, like we have seen, is a lot of smoke screens (including made up shit, like in this case here) to cover this very apparent fact that believing things does not make them true. Period.
I have found my very fleeting moments of faith of having won the Lottery without ever having played to be a waste of time, and so, I quickly move on to more important things in my life.
(Still, I suppose that such is at least possible, as my birthday is next month.)
