How many time do you have to be hit with a baseball bat before you trust being hit will always hurt?

That isn’t faith. That is trust.

Faith may be equated to trust but only to the extent that faith is trust without the evidence.

Humans are pattern finding animals. Without there being some sort of regular pattern in reality we literally could not exist. To the extent that experience becomes our point of reference we have developed trust, or in another word, faith that the reality we’ve experienced so far will always behave in predictable ways.
