Faith vs Blind Faith

1.There are a group of people hiking in the Alps. Suddenly a grey mist envelopes them. They are trapped in the mountains sure to die. The one guy says well, seeing we are going to die, let me jump down a cliff. There might be a way out for me if I don't die.

Suddenly one guy hears a voice calling out to him, saying "Jump down the cliff it is only a short drop. There is a cave down here in which you can keep warm. Trust me I did it." The guy decides to jump down the cliff because there seems to be a way out for him.

Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Where does a faith that is incompatible with reason fit in? Is it blind faith or something else?

Reason is a necessary condition of faith. You can not believe in something if you think it is unreasonable.

Do you think the existence of talking snakes is reasonable?
How about the loading of a pair of each of the world's billions of species onto a boat and keeping them alive together for weeks by a staff of a handful of humans?
