    Faith is defined as "belief without REASON". There's no reason whatsoever to believe in something that can't be demonstrated as being true. We do NOT "have faith" in the fact that the sun will rise each morning. We know for a fact that SOMEDAY, the sun will not rise for the Earth, cause our sun will nova, as do all suns, or just burn out.

    Knowing why something MUST happen (until the alteration kills all of us) means that our belief in the sun rising is NOT an act of faith. We know that because of gravity, whenever, and wherever on earth we drop a rock, it's falling straight down, without exception. Beleiving that it will do so is not an act of faith. It's a reflection of demonstrable fact.

    Why pollute and entangle your mind with faith? If there's no reason to believe in a given thing, then you should reserve judgement about it, until such reason is put forward, examined, proven to be in line with reason and observable testing.
