Knowledge denies faith. Faith can only exist in the absence of knowledge.

The idea between the two comes from Greek thought first posed by Plato/Aristotle. It centers around the question of "where did your conception come from?" If you attribute it to yourself, then it is knowledge, if you attribute it to a spiritual realm it is faith.
They are not always distinct, you can have both faith and knowledge that something is true or exists.

Knowledge is a part of faith but mere head knowledge is not true faith. True faith is a true knowledge or a knowledge of the truth but also believing it personally. Believing Jesus existed 2 thousand years ago is not saving faith but knowing He died for your sins is.

Knowledge is belief based on observations of some kind. Faith is belief based on wishfull thinking.
