I think it only fitting for someone to state the standard Biblical definition of faith as long as it is being discussed:
Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is sure of what we hope for and certain of what we cannot see."
Personally lurkette, I think you already hit the nail on the head when you said that you said that you wanted to believe that a part of the ego endures despite the evidence against it. That's the key to Christianity and all other religions; discover your beliefs, find all the evidence you can for them and then stick to them no matter what.
