Mission: Zodiac - A matter of faith

i guess it's probably easier to find evidence of that philosophy than it is to find evidence of a god, so that might be the difference

Logically speaking, there is likely to be no difference.

If Faith is Belief without Proof, which seems to be your premise, then, all things being equal, the faith should be the same.

One can question whether or not you possess no proof of that principle, but in the scenario you have described, there is no difference.

The only thing that could change this, perhaps, is what you mean by 'evidence.' Some principles can be gleaned without observation. For instance, I know that when I divide a perfect circle's area by its radius, I get pi. I know this to be true due to reason, without ever having seen a perfect circle. If abstract data did not factor into your initial assessment of the above, then that might change the nature of the question.

But assuming that your reason and your observations do not provide you with any information to support your belief, then the only difference is the subject matter.

I'll tackle this one later on, however I'm busy doing finals stuff right now. You should anticipate a fairly lengthy response in the next couple days.
