Be honest with yourself and acknoweledge that It all boils down to you pointing to a guy or a group of people who you believe to be credible because they are smarter than you, and what they think. And for them what they think is based on what someone smarter than them thinks, and so on goes the daisy chain.
Until you get to the evidence, which can be shown to anyone willing to look.

Bottom line is you had to twist the meaning of both 'faith based' and 'facts' to make that statement. But don't let your mouthings being obvious rubbish slow you down. You're one of the best arguments against creationism for people who can't follow the science I know.

Because the kind of 'faith' (trust or confidence) it takes to believe that fossils and DNA aren't a cosmic trick meant to mislead us isn't the same kind of faith (spiritual apprehension) it takes to believe that a copy of ancient manuscript that tells us miracle stories should be taken at face value.

If there is a God, it's certain it's the author of what we find in the ground, it's not certain that it's the author of what we find written on a piece of parchment.

Because one is science and the other is not, they should not be taught together in a science class. It's perfect legal to teach them together in Sunday School, though.

Is that because you have evidence to support your contention?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
