   Faith is an assumption, based on past experience, observation   
   and reason.   
   An example: based on  past experience I have faith the sun will rise   
   each and every day for the next 50 years.   
   Blind faith is the absence of past experience, observation or reason.   
   I will be alive to witness each sunrise the next 50 years.
