In modern, it seems the word faith has had the adjective blind appended to it. And while many people blindly believe many things (including things in a scientific arena), this is not the case with Christian faith.
The Christian faith, so called, is based upon reason, logic, historicity, and fact. And that Faith trumps our feelings.
So when a Christian says they have faith, it does not mean that they blindly believe some myth or fairy tale. It means, rather, that regardless of how they feel, they know that Jesus is the solid rock on which they can firmly stand, versus the ever-shifting sand of feelings, or the ever changing waves of public opinion.
On Christ the solid rock I stand.
All other ground is shifting sand.
