Faith is a strong or unshakeable belief in something, without
proof or strong evidence. In religion, faith often consists of confident
assurance in belief of claims about the character of God, nature or the
universe. While some have argued that faith is opposed to reason, proponents of
faith argue that the proper domain of faith concerns questions which cannot be
settled by evidence. For example, faith can be applied to attitudes about the
future, which (by definition) has not yet occurred.
