Hence Christianity is stagnant and backwards

And in Matthew when Jesus walked on the water and invited Peter to come out with him onto the water...
-Matthew 14:29-31 says, So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

And there are so, so many more references to faith. I think it's safe to say that faith plays a pretty large part in Christianity.
I never said faith was not an important part but rather that it's unquantifiable and unreproducible. To quote Jessica "With faith, when something can't be explained, you only have the convenient answer of "Oh, it's just God's will. He doesn't want you to know."
