For example: "Do you believe that there's life on other planets considering the size of the universe and possible other universes?" You'd be fine to say yes, but if I said "Do you have faith that there's life on other planets considering the size of the universe and possible other universes?" You'd probably say something like "no, I don't have faith" I suspect, since you couldn't really call that faith, because according to statistics its very probable that there's life on other planets.
