I would say that faith is the firm belief that something will happen, regardless of proof. I have faith that my train will arrive, no matter how late. I have faith that if I throw a ball up in the air, it will come down again. In the same way, I also have faith that God exists. Not because I'm too stupid to weigh up evidence, and definately not because I have not taken the time to research it. I have come to faith not only spiritually, but also intellectually.
