The Apostle Paul taught that "faith is the substance [assurance] of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).

Faith of the religious kind is the antithesis of rationality and reason because faith without evidence or proof is blind faith.
Through faith alone you can believe in anything you choose so it is not a valid tool of knowledge, it is more like wishful thinking.
If you have evidence or proof of something you don't need faith at all to believe in it.

The Holy Bible says that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". My definition of faith is "faith acts like a thing is so, when it's not so, that it might become so".

Faith is a strong conviction from within that is unshakable, which is developed over a time period and is believed to be true.
