Is 'faith' recognizing intelligent design or........ confidence in divine interception of inevitable nuclear winter on earth?

"And in answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads YOU; 5 for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. 6 YOU are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that YOU are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
7 “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. 8 All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.
9 “Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. 10 Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; 12 and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. 13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
...for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short." Mt24:3

see, everything will be allright

or maybe, faith is a steadfast belief that god is love.

that no one needs suffer as long as he does good, little matter the dogma he/she espouses

that everything will be allright

For me, I came to a simple realization recently which is this...

Faith is "acting as if." That's it.

Isn't that more like attitude than faith?

So do people who recognize intelligent design but have no knowledge of God's kingdom have faith?

I'm not quite sure I follow you exactly.

Faith is "acting as if" you know absolutely that God exists.

What I mean is faith is not recognizing intelligent design, that's simple science. Faith includes an accurate knowledge of God's promise to terminate Satan's reign of terror after Armageddon, and recognizing the 'sign' of Satan's last days.
"And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 And he hurled him into the abyss and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he might not mislead the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be let loose for a little while." Rv20:1

faith is listeng to the words of men over your own spirituality, turning you into what they desire.

Ok, that's fine. I like to simplify things to their basic essence. And If I know that God exists absolutely then I know what He told me will absolutely happen.
