You suggested that you will not believe some P unless there is irrefutable proof for it in the nature of infallible evidence (Msg. #160). It can be concluded from this that every single belief you affirm satisfies such a rule. If you affirm some belief P which doesn't satisfy such a rule, you will need to explain why P is an allowed exception to the rule while Q is not, without walking into the Special Pleading fallacy. So let's now test that.
Do you affirm a belief that the universe is billions of years old?
No I do not affirm a belief that the universe is billions of years old. I am no scientist. This is what science has announced to the world. However, I much rather listen to science then to a book of fables, pardon my straightforwardness in this statement.
