Christians do have faith that God exists...we also know He does in our hearts!!

Nope, I know my brother exists, and I have faith he does too. What's incompatible with that?

Cause sometimes it might seen that he´s abandon us, and we have to believe by faith, every one in his life get to a point when believe in him gets really hard.....there´s where faith comes in more stronger than ever. And then, because of that faith, u know he exists.

To know God and have faith are two different things. It is easier to believe in God than it is to really leave all the worries for Him to take care of and have faith that He takes care of us.

Because many don't know God exists...if they knew, they would understand 'faith' is no longer an issue.
You either know God exists or you have faith God exists...not both.

You answered your own question... No.
Faith is a belief, trust, or confidence, not based merely on logic, reason, or empirical data, but based fundamentally on volition often associated with a transpersonal relationship with God, a higher power, a person, elements of nature, and/or a perception of the human race as a whole. Faith can be placed in a person, inanimate object, state of affairs, proposition or body of propositions such as a religious creed.

maybe for the christians how ever for us muslims we have proof that god exists. just by the scientifical evidence that was proven before modern day science ever discovered these things. for those who believe that we came from monkey's and talk of evolution there is a book called verses from the noble quran and it's contrabutions to science. this shows how mathimatically and by our genetic mke up it is impossible for us to have evolved from monkey's. you can also find the proof online offered by various sites. as far as what you want to believe the quran tells muslims that people have the right to believe in which ever they choose. if we were to be programed it would have taken away our free will. free will is your gift and well i would have to say curse as well. but in the end it is what it is. if you choose to live your life worship free and believing in a big bang theory it is up to you with in your life time to do as much research on the topic as you can. it is up to you in your life time to look at all sides of a spectrum before comming to a conclusion. if you choose to stay the way you are then that is your god given right.

Yes, they are incompatible. If you KNOW something is real, you don't need to have faith in it or believe in it. I do not believe in electricity, magnetism, or gravity, because I KNOW these things are real. They would stil be real even if I didn't believe in them.

Because we are Christians and we believe by faith.
