A “blind faith” without facts and evidence is not biblical faith‼️‼️‼️
The only people trusting in a false faith or a “blind faith” are pagans, certain kinds of charismatics and pentecostals, shamans, witch doctors, psychics, evolutionists, atheists and agnostics.
Biblical faith is rather based on evidence and indisputable facts.

A Faith Based on Facts
By Greg Laurie, CP Contributor
He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. - Acts 1:2–3
Christianity is not a feel-good belief system that asks you to accept some misguided fairy tale. It is based on reliable and documented evidence of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, thereby justifying His claims and promises. Granted there is an element of faith that is required to believe, but it is based on the clear facts.
Yet going back to the earliest centuries, there have been those who have suggested that Jesus never rose from the dead. Some have said it was a hoax, while others have said the disciples were just hallucinating. But Luke, writing about what he had seen, said that Jesus "presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" (Acts 1:3).
The word Luke used for "seen" could be translated "eyeballed." The disciples "eyeballed" the risen Lord. Here was Jesus, who had been crucified and put to death. And He didn't just appear once or twice-He was popping up everywhere. Five hundred people saw him on a single occasion. That is no mass hallucination; that is evidence.
If this were a hoax the apostles dreamed up, certainly one of them would have broken ranks and admitted it. But they all died the death of a martyr except John, who survived an execution attempt and was banished to the island of Patmos. Not one of them broke ranks, because they could not deny what they knew was true.
Jesus was alive. They had seen Him. They eyeballed Him. It transformed their lives, and they had to share the gospel message with others. They were real people just like you and me. Yet God used them to change the world.
Even though we can’t see Jesus in the same way the apostles experienced him, we still have evidence on which to place our faith.
We have the reliable testimonial facts presented by those who saw Jesus.
We also have a Bible that is firmly based on historical facts and the facts of fulfilled prophecy—(that’s just 2 lines of highly qualified facts and evidence but there’s more).
But atheists and agnostics, who believe in evolution, do not even have 2 lines of qualifying facts.
Another very powerful fact about the Bible is the fact of revelation.
God reveals facts about himself.
God reveals eyewitness accounts regarding the historical facts about the creation of the universe and of man and animals. Not only that, but creation itself testifies to the facts about the nature of God.
Romans 1:20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are >>>>without excuse<<<<<.
Way too many uniformed Christians get confused at the words of Jesus: “what did Jesus mean blessed are those who have not seen but believe”.
Jesus is NOT promoting the exercise of a blind atheist type of faith! He’s speaking against the kind of inexcusable unbelief that disregards the prophetic and testimonial facts surrounding his resurrection.
