Faith is based on evidence and without it is nothing. That's why it would be unacceptable for Christians to see that Paul preached about a spiritual being, because they want the Bible to point to a larger-than-life story for which there is no evidence of.

Apparently faith does hinge on observations.. which then means it's not faith.
