The article on "faith" has avoided addressing the uncomfortable definition of "belief". But the dictionary is much more clear. Faith is "Belief without evidence." True, sometimes, the word faith is used to mean belief, but there's more going on.

In three short words, "characteristically without evidence", a very succient difference is captured and established.

It yields a much more comfortable and solid essescene of the sometimes cloudy distiction from "belief".

It is strongly supported by the dictionary.

Please take some time for the community to digest this revision.


Your confusing two different terms: Proof and evidence are not synonymous. Proof is absolute assurance in some idea or outcome; while evidence is something used to make a conclusion. Hardyplants (talk) 03:34, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Hardyplants for your observation. I'll research proof.
