With facts one does not require faith. No one has to believe in a fact. Facts don't change, we do (very often) consider something a fact when it is not - when that gets ferreted out, the body of knowledge we have about the subject has to give way. This is a strength, not a weakness. This means that you won't find me ten years from now (let alone a couple thousand) arguing about how a talking snake tricked two people out of a playground and into a den of monkey-men....
