Faith is not creating something or believing something blindly. It's not a way to rationalize things we don't understand.
Faith is evidence-based trust. Why do we believe that game works? That is, why do we have FAITH that game works? Because we've seen it work before! Our faith in game is based on evidence.
Why do we have faith that the Sun will rise tomorrow? Because it's done so for eons.
The most important things in our lives are based on faith. I have faith that democracy is better than fascism.
Then why is there a faith in God? There is no evidence-based trust in a entity that may or may not exist.
We can know God through reason, and that reason does provide evidence.
