Dictionary.com Faith: belief that is not based on proof:
If, for some reason, you think that such a definition proves, or even hints, that faith is contrary to fact, you appear to be a very shallow thinker. Even the definition you offer there shows nothing that rules out the co-existence and mutual support of the two.
If your beliefs are consistent with the evidence, there is no need for faith.
