Quote:(2) Please define what you consider to be faith, and how do you see this is different from fact?Having a belief in something without having good evidence to do so. I disagree with leo's definition. I don't think believing that the sun will come up tomorrow is a faith based position, since you have good reason to believe so, same with having a job next month.
As for how it is different from fact? Facts are true. Faith positions have a possibility of being true.
