Faith?
Faith can mean 'complete confidence in a person or plan, etc.' Faith can also mean 'Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence'. When a theist speaks of his faith, it is argued, he refers to the latter definitions. When he wishes to assert that ""atheists have faith, too"", the only definition that fits is the first[citation needed], but his argument implies the latter definitions, nonetheless (see equivocation).

Quite often theists have used the argument that life occurring from no life is highly improbable to the point of near impossibility. This is also the case with many of the ""proofs"" of God such as those by Thomas Aquinas, which would also be more in line with the latter than the former.  Now while they may be wrong in their assumptions to come to the conclusion of the probability of life or the existence of God, what they are speaking about would be more in line with the latter definition that the former in their argument.  The validity of what they are saying does not impact what they ""wish to assert"", so they may indeed be asserting both points at the same time. Perhaps a qualifier such as under a purely theological perspective would improve this paragraph.  Or change to ""the definition that usually fits within context(the only definition that fits) is the first"". 

I could be wrong, just thought I throw out this point.198.178.190.1  "
