Let's say I decide that everything I can know or infer based on observation and testing is not all there is in the universe, but that in addition to that, I must have faith in some things, evidence or no evidence. Once I decide I must have faith, what tool do I use to call anything false? Pixies, unicorns, santa claus, God, Buddha: Prior to faith, I had a reasonable suspicion (not proof) that these things were false, because I had no confirmation of any of it. Now, with faith, I no longer have the tools to claim anything as false, because by using faith, I've thrown out the tools I normally use to infer all things as either true or false. Thoughts?
