Faith and instinct are strange birds in this paradigm...

Faith is knowledge without any experience (remember that pure knowledge is usually passed down from someone that originally experienced it). Faith is more "pure" than pure knowledge it seems!

Instinct... that's wisdom without experience... there was no cognitive learning involved, either by book or by experience. Evolution tought you that lesson. Like learning to smile... you don't need to, it's an evolved instinct that allows people to communicate.
