Let's not forget that there is ALSO faith in respect to what does and does not constitute evidence. You have to have an epistemic ''faith'' that only empiricism can provide evidence.
I have faith that my wife is telling the truth that she loves me and I would never want to ask my friends to empirically PROVE that they like me.
We have faith that human rights exist. And you cant do an autopsy on someone to see what size they are, how much they weigh...
