Most drivers have faith that oncoming traffic is inclined to stay on their side of the yellow line unless passing or avoiding a hazard etc.
If faith were really orthogonal to facts, this would be rather dangerous, no?
Faith, in a spritual sense, is a belief in the truth of something even if it defies the disproof provided by one’s own senses. For instance I believe that the consecrated Host is the Body of Christ with every fiber of my being. Faith is a gift and cannot be over-ridden by the Scientific Method or by the jeers of those unfortunate enough not to be granted so great a gift.
If God exists and you believe, you are saved. If He doesn’t and you believe, nothing is lost.
