You're supposed to learn how mountains form in middle school, at the latest, aren't you? Mountains rise. sometimes they rise from beneath the ocean. Hence fossils of sea creatures in very high places.
You don't see a problem here?!?!
That you're an idiot? Yeah, we all see it. Just humoring you.

It sure makes a difference if you count the begats.
Are you really that flippant? Really?
For the millionth time, there is a difference between religious faith and faith in testable, repeatable processes. I have faith that when I sit my dining room chair, it won't collapse. I have this faith because of the 1,000 other times I have sat in this chair and not had it collapse. I acknowledge that it could collapse (so not blind faith.) I have faith that the scientific method works, because over and over it produces results. Do you ever feel even the slightest bit dishonest when you distrust science only when it contradicts your worldview? Don't worry, I know the answer already.
Full definition according to who?! Idiot.
For the million and oneth time no there is not.
Full Definition of FAITH
1
a : allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty
b (1) : fidelity to one's promises (2) : sincerity of intentions
2
a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion
b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust
3
: something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs <the Protestant faith>
all definitions of faith require little to not proof. It is will sustained belief. So like it or not faith in 'science' (especially when science has no answers on a particular subject) is the same brand of faith (mustard seed) we use to find God.

Esq, your definition of faith (believing in spite of evidence) is apparently unique to you guys.
Drich gave you the correct definitions, yet you come up with one that doesn't exist.
Faith is having belief or confidence in something. PERIOD
That includes Atheists.
You have faith in your car.
If that faith was in spite of evidence- you would would be looking for a reliable one to replace it.
I got rid of the lying clunker that the System foisted on me a long time ago.
The purveyors of evolution make the proverbial used car salesmen look like Mother Teresa.
But then again, the only alternative to creation is this stupid theory of evolution.
So people have to live with it and it gets shoved down everybody's throat until some of us look around at reality and vomit it out like the puke that it is.
I'm guessing head wound early in life. And I like some car salesmen. Mother Theresa was a dick.
