And for them what they think is based on what someone smarter than them thinks, and so on goes the daisy chain.
Bottom line what you believe about which ever side of orgins you stand on your belief is 'Faith based.' Fore a faith in 'facts' (A statement that can be proven or disprooved) is still faith.
That being the case what makes your faith any more important than anyone elses? Just because you point at the ground then to a book to decipher what it is you think you see in the ground, does not make you any less dependant on faith, than a man who points to God then the bible to discern his version of Orgins.
Why shouldn't both accounts be taught side by side, not as an excersize of which is right and which is wrong, but as what some believe verses what others believe. I truly think most of us will be shocked that neither strict interpertation of said events is correct.
WRONG! I believe things based on evidence.We dont believe in Scientist claims simply based on there authority,but on wether or not they can prove or demonstrate there claims.
Wrong yourself. You believe in the interpretation of what has been identified as evidence for you. (I am assuming that you have not completed the equasions used to caculate out 'the big bang' nor dug deep enough into the strata or carbon dated anything yourself.)
Which again if you are taking the interpretation of another's 'evidence' for your own, then like it or not sport your actions fall under Faith.
