Not according to Evie I think ...but we should check what he says.
I think that I never intentionally take anything on faith (if I can help it).

I think that, yes, there is. Because I think that if you define 'faith' as simply belief without evidence, then by definition that's a different way of 'putting it' than how you 'put it'.

Omniscience requires astounding faith :S
I certainly don't think faith applies in any definition to absolute knowledge. And Omniscience is absolute knowledge (and of course, of everything) I believe.
