Basic logic tells us that if there is a contradiction, there is a problem. Two contradictory claims cannot both be true. One or the other must be false, or both are wrong.

If the Hindu belief that Brahman manifests the universe is true, for example, the Christian version of creation cannot be true and vice versa...both can be wrong, but both cannot be right

Faith just means holding a conviction without evidence, you may be convinced that you'll win the lotto on Saturday, and that belief would be an article of faith.
