How is one orgins story considered better than another

[Strider]

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.

Unless we independently verify the life's works of some of the world's most brilliant scientists, the evidence is invalid? That's not how it works. Evidence cannot be twisted into "faith" if one is simply not able to do something such as calculating the orbit of a planet, analyzing DNA, or something of that nature because he/she does not have the requisite scientific or technical training. Evidence is evidence despite how you endeavor to twist the word to fit your needs.

Faith is the belief of something even in the absence of evidence or, in many cases, in spite of evidence to the contrary.
