They answer the "what, why and how" questions. Faith answers the why.

I would say that you contradicted yourself, but I won't pick issue with that.

You can't use reason to justify faith. This is why they are two separate concepts.

Actually, all things that believers say are based on faith are indeed based on some form of tangible evidence. To paraphrase Julia Sweeney from Letting Go of God, is not your "faith" in a God based on some aspect of the world that leads you to believe that there is a God? So the point is that you can't sweep reason aside in regard to God because it seems inconvenient to you to do so. Reason still holds, as it does for all things in the universe, and when applied to God reason leads to the inescapable conclusion that there is no basis for belief in him.
