Id agree with that. Good. That is settled then

How would you say having faith in something you cant comprehend leads to critical thinking? Having faith in something ends critical thinking in my opinion. Maybe I don't really understand what you mean by "having faith in something even though you cannot comprehend". I take that as essentially blindly believing, which you go on to say isnt good.

Well, why don´t you explain what you mean and then I will add my two cents. Having faith in what? Specifically what is it that we are referring to in this case?

Well, we were talking about a being we supposedly can't comprehend, that i'd assume you would say created us. More specifically, created us this way, unable to comprehend it. I asked why he would do this and you answered you didn't know, and that some things don't follow logic and need to be taken on faith in a common good.

That sounds like the kind of faith that is blindly believing in something to me (especially as you removed logic from the issue), and I wouldn't call it "important", or say it leads to critical thinking.

So yeah, what do you mean by having faith in something you don't comprehend, why is it important, and how does it lead to critical thinking. Critical thinking is more continuing to think about it, and investigate it until you comprehend it better, whereas having faith is the end of inquiry.
